Out through the Magic Door of the Orchard Room is a magic gate which is the entrance to a fairyland, if you know the rhyme. In this wonderful land lives Sylvia, the only friend Marigold has. But what happens to the magic as you grow up a become entangled with real life?
A Tangled Web is probably L.M. Montgomery’s funniest book. It is the story of two clans on Prince Edward Island. The Penhallows and the Darks. No Dark would ever marry anyone but a Penhallow and no Penhallow would ever marry anyone but a Dark. The undisputed leader of the two clans was 85 year-old Aunt Becky Dark. Aunt Becky was the holder of the “Dark Jug”, a family heirloom greatly desired by everyone in both clans. Knowing she will soon die, she calls a family gathering to announce to the clans who will inherit the Dark Jug. The results of that gathering throws both clans into chaos, as each member tries to position themselves to be the one to get the jug.
Pat of Silver Bush. Pat lived on Prince Edward Island on a farm called Silver Bush. There was her dad, mom, aunt, sister, 2 brothers and Judy Plum. Judy Plum was the old Irish housekeeper that had been at Silver Bush since before Pat’s father was born. Little Pat loved everything just the way it was. Her love for everything ran so deep she simply couldn’t abide any change. Even the smallest change tore at her heart. So imagine Pat’s anguish when Judy Plum announced to her that she would be looking in the Parsley Bed to see if there might be a “wee tiny new baby in there.” And so, with the arrival of a new baby, everything started to change….
Mistress Pat continues the story of Pat Gardiner, Judy Plum, Jingle and a few new characters. Being older hasn’t changed Pat, but unfortunately time has a habit of changing everything else. Pat’s inability to handle change causes her to feel things more deeply than everyone else around her.
Jane of Lantern Hill. Jane Victoria Stuart lived with her mother and her very wealthy grandmother on 60 Gay Street. It was all very upscale and posh and thanks to her grandmother, everyone was very, very miserable. Jane often wished her mother would stand up to the old woman or that she had a father, and maybe he could do it.
