Lucy Maud Montgomery, página 4 de 30

Esta colección de historias cortas de L. M. Montgomery, redescubiertas, seleccionadas e introducidas por Catherine McLay, contiene catorce cuentos que fueron publicados originalmente en revistas entre 1899 y 1935. Consagrada por sus novelas protagonizadas por la radiante y querida Anne, la autora tambien escribio cientos de historias, muchas de las cuales nunca habian sido reeditadas, ya que habian aparecido en revistas populares de su epoca. La novia espera y otros cuentos es un conjunto de catorce ejemplos impresionantes de la perspicacia narrativa de Lucy Maud Montgomery. Muchas son historias de amor: cuentos de reconciliacion, de un inesperado romanticismo, a veces tambien humoristico, de ensueños y de fantasias amorosas pero, divertidamente, con los pies en la tierra. Los relatos abarcan un largo periodo de la trayectoria de la autora canadiense y todos ellos han sido escritos con el mismo encanto, delicadeza e ingenio que los lectores de su obra conocen. Un medico rural que no pierde nunca la fe en su prometida, quien jura regresar a su lado; una hermosa e imprudente joven que, en un ataque de resentimiento, se compromete a casarse con el primer hombre que se lo pida; una ex esposa que apuesta su futura felicidad en una carrera de caballos y dos solteronas que exigen una boda a cambio del rescate de una mascota son algunos de los personajes inolvidables de esta antologia.

When she was asked to contribute a short story to a magazine, she dusted off an idea for a plot she had jotted down when she was much younger, and turned it into Anne of Green Gables, one of the most popular books ever written. Lucy said about the book: 'I thought girls in their teens might like it. But grandparents, school and college boys, old pioneers in the Australian bush, girls in India, missionaries in China, monks in remote monasteries, premiers of Great Britain, and red-headed people all over the world have written to me, telling me how they loved Anne and her successors.' Lucy married a Presbyterian minister in 1911 and moved with him to Toronto. She continued to set her stories on 'the only island there is' and where her heart always remained.

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside - and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty - and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her triumphs.

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are in for a big surprise. They are waiting for an orphan boy to help with the work at Green Gables - but a skinny, red-haired girl turns up instead. Feisty and full of spirit, Anne Shirley charms her way into the Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter. It's not long before Anne finds herself in trouble, but soon it becomes impossible for the Cuthberts to imagine life without 'their' Anne - and for the people of Avonlea to recall what it was like before this wildly creative little girl whirled into town.
