Good evening and welcome to the sleepy bookshelf.

This season, ahead of the next highly anticipated book on the main feed,

we would like to return to a second installment of short stories by Lucy Maud Montgomery, exclusive for our premium supporters.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was a prolific Canadian author, most famous for her novel, Anne of Green Gables.

However, during her time, she published 20 novels, 530 short stories, 500 poems,

and 30 essays before her death in 1942. We have read Anne of Green Gables and a few of her short stories some time ago on the bookshelf,

and you're welcome to dig into these too.

They're usually charming, with wonderful and believable characters,

often giving the reader an insight into the intimate lives of those on Prince Edward

Island, where Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up in the early 20th century.

The stories in this series were published in a collection from 1904.

We hope you will join us for this season.

However, if you decide that these short stories aren't your cup of tea,

feel free to explore the rest of the bookshelf.

We're sure you'll find something to help guide you into a restful sleep.

This season is exclusive to our premium listeners,

and our subscription offers stories like these to listen to between the seasons on the main feed.
