It’s always so exciting to come home from a day of wondering through used bookstores with another LMM book that you didn’t have previously. Let’s face it, unless you want to order them on-line, it is SO HARD to find one of her non-Anne or non-Emily books around here, even in the used book stores.

The Doctor’s Sweetheart is another collection of her short stories. The stories in the book are arranged in chronological order, and I have to say that I enjoyed the ones that were written later as opposed to the earlier ones.

Montgomery would sometimes rework her short stories to put them into their novels, so when I read the story “I Know a Secret,” I couldn’t help but giggle and picture little Blythe children frolicking about in my mind. Needless to say, that has become one of my favourite stories from this collection. I also really loved “The Garden of Spices” and “The Doctor’s Sweetheart.”
