About 5 h 04 min of reading35 chapters

The Golden Road, published in 1913, is L. M. Montgomery's sequel to The Story Girl. The narrator, Beverley King, looks back on the last year he and his brother spent with their cousins at the King farm on Prince Edward Island, under the spell of Sara Stanley, the Story Girl, whose tales hold everyone enthralled. Over a winter, spring and summer the children start a family magazine, make New Year resolutions, visit eccentric neighbors, including the reputed witch Peg Bowen, uncover the love story of a shy neighbor, and face the first separations of growing up. Told with gentle humor and nostalgia, it is a portrait of childhood near its end. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
