Description

This is a reprint published by Harrap in 1937. 

L.M. Montgomery's The Golden Road invites readers to step back in time to an enchanting world of childhood wonder and adventure. This timeless novel weaves a nostalgic tapestry of Beverley's cherished memories, revisiting his days growing up alongside his brother Felix and their lively circle of friends and cousins, including Felicity, Cecily, Dan, Sara Stanley (the beloved "Story Girl"), hired-boy Peter, and their neighbour Sara Ray.

Set against the backdrop of a picturesque orchard, the children's lives are filled with countless adventures, creativity, and their very own publication, "Our Magazine." Through their escapades and imaginative endeavors, Montgomery intricately develops her characters, allowing the reader to witness the beautiful journey of these children growing up, while retaining their youthful spirit.

"The Golden Road" is not merely a tale of childhood, but a coming-of-age story rich in character development. As they navigate the winding paths of life, readers can't help but become invested in the budding relationships and unspoken affections between characters, like Peter and Felicity, as well as Beverley and Sara Stanley.

Montgomery's poignant narrative hints at life's inevitabilities, such as change and the loss of innocence, particularly when Sara Stanley leaves the "Golden Road" behind for a formal education. The novel offers glimpses into the characters' futures, leaving readers with a sense of longing for the days of childhood that can never be fully recaptured.

"The Golden Road," with its beautifully crafted characters and a touch of wistful nostalgia, remains a treasured gem in Montgomery's literary legacy.
