The story is about several cousins and friends in their pre- and early teens who are spending a year together on the family farm on Prince Edward Island.

It is narrated from the view of a boy named Bev King looking back on his childhood. Bev and his brother Felix are sent to live with their Aunt Janet and Uncle Alec on Prince Edward Island while their father travels for business.

There they become acquainted with their cousins Felicity, Dan, Cecily, and Sara Stanley aka the Story Girl, as well as befriending Sara Ray a neighbor and Peter the hired boy. It covers many domestic adventures and dramas through school, church, neighbors, and through it all The Story Girl weaves tales to entertain and relate to every life event.

Imagination and a hint of magic touches things, just as it did with Anne of Green Gables. But most of all it deals with family and friendship, and how the group grows close through it all. The passing days include playful fancies, raucous romps, and poetic tales (as narrated by their cousin Sara Stanley, the Story Girl).

The characters are all wonderfully varied and vibrant with their own virtues and flaws, and it deals very nicely with common troubles of growing up.

You will love The Story Girl for her otherworldly nature, for being so wise in some ways and so na ve in others, and for her unique outlook on life and people in general.

Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), publicly known as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success.

The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.[1] The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character.

Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site-namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.

Montgomery's work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide.

Shortly after her grandmother's death in 1911, she married Ewen (spelled in her notes and letters as "Ewan" Macdonald (1870-1943), a Presbyterian minister, [4] and they moved to Ontario where he had taken the position of minister of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Leaskdale in present-day Uxbridge Township, also affiliated with the congregation in nearby Zephyr. Montgomery wrote her next eleven books from the Leaskdale manse.

Montgomery was honoured by Britain's King George V as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), as there were no Canadian orders, decorations or medals for civilians until the 1970s.

Montgomery was named a National Historic Person in 1943 by the Canadian federal government. Her Ontario residence was designated a National Historic Site (NHS) in 1997 (Leaskdale Manse NHS), while the place that inspired her famous novels, Green Gables, was designated "L. M. Montgomery's Cavendish NHS" in 2004.
