The Hurrying of Ludovic **** (Season Two, Episode 11, It's Just A Stage)Ģ. The ratings I've included are for the short stories only.)ġ. Some have been very loosely adapted, taking only a general idea and a few character names, but others have been quite accurate. (And make you want to watch Avonlea, but that could be just me, too! I'll write down the corresponding episodes besides the title of the short stories, for those who might be interested. Whether it's a tale of estranged lovers finally reconciling, a grown-up daughter coming home to her loving father, or a young boy playing a heart-wrenching tune on his violin for his dying neighbour, each story will make you dream, sigh, and wonder. Reading Montgomery feels like coming home you know you'll feel all cozy and warm and peaceful, and spend wonderful hours dreaming about her glorious descriptions of nature and her fascinating characters. In Chronicles of Avonlea, a delightful collection of twelve short stories about the inhabitants of Avonlea and other nearby villages, we meet lovely new characters and relive many stories that inspired various episodes on Road to Avonlea. It makes you feel so young again, brings you hope and reawakens your dreams. There is something about watching and reading classical children material at an older age that I find quite magical. I've found myself wishing more than once to have discovered this wonderful series sooner, or had grown up watching it (like everyone else here!), but in a way I'm glad I didn't because I wouldn't have the same sort of delight and appreciation I have for it now if I had. I'll admit that I went into it expecting to be diverted, but I never thought I would fall so completely in love with it!! I'm helplessly addicted now, and since the weather is mostly cold and rainy here, I do little else than binge-watching and reading LMM.
I was hooked in a way I had never been before, and hurried to borrow the complete first season from the library. I wasn't too much of a TV/movie person back then, and I think I was only vaguely aware that there even was a complete series of Road to Avonlea.īut about a month or so ago, I found that beloved DVD again while I was looking for something good to watch, and settled on it since I hadn't watched it in a while. I did, and watched it a few times over the years, but for some reason I never cared or thought to watch more of the famous show. It looked just like my kind of thing and I was sure I would like it. When I was about thirteen or fourteen, one of my best friends gave me a DVD copy of Road to Avonlea: The Journey Begins, and I was very excited.
