Set against the picturesque backdrop of Prince Edward Island, The Story Girl introduces readers to Sara Stanley, whose enchanting tales captivate everyone around her.

Together with her cousins, including Beverley, Felix, Cecily, and others, Sara embarks on a series of delightful adventures, weaving her stories into their everyday lives.
Originally published in 1911, this novel offers a charming glimpse into the life and culture of the period. Montgomery's rich characterisation and engaging narrative make The Story Girl a timeless read, filled with humour, warmth, and the enduring appeal of childhood innocence.
