The Golden Road is a classic children's novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables. The story is set in the fictional town of Carlisle, Prince Edward Island, and follows the adventures of a group of young children known as the Story Girl, Felix, Cecily, Dan, Sara Ray, and Peter. The children spend their summers playing in the fields and forests around Carlisle, inventing stories and games, and exploring the mysteries of the world around them.The book is written in a nostalgic, whimsical style, and captures the innocence and wonder of childhood. The characters are endearing and relatable, and the novel is filled with humor, warmth, and a sense of magic. The Golden Road is a timeless tale of friendship, imagination, and the joys of youth that will delight readers of all ages.We enjoyed our walk--even Felix enjoyed it, although he had been appointed to write up the visit for Our Magazine and was rather weighed down by the responsibility of it. What mattered it though the world were gray and wintry? We walked the golden road and carried spring time in our hearts, and we beguiled our way with laughter and jest, and the tales the Story Girl told us--myths and legends of elder time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I didn't read the first book in this series, so I felt in the dark most of the way thru the book. I loved L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, you could pick up any one of them and jump right in. Any of her books are worth reading. I will get the first book & see if I can "catch up" to the continuing story that is "The Golden Road."

Perfectly delightful!
Oh, I sooo enjoyed this sequel to "The Story Girl". Both of them together create the most delightful of books.
Now that I've finished reading it, I feel sad to leave my new friends behind. Beverley, Felix, Cecily, Peter, Felicity, Dan, Sara Ray, and, of course, Sara Stanley (better known as the Story Girl). Such charming friends that I won't soon be forgetting. Oh, and Patrick Grayfur too, for a good cat mustn't be forgotten either.
Their antics kept me laughing, and their paltry tragedies molded a saddened expression upon my face. To experience the highlights of their days with them... to hear the stories that the Story Girl shared... it is wonderful to be included in their little group of friendship.
The only thing that didn't enlighten me with pleasure, however, is the ongoing talk of Peg Bowen being a witch. I suppose in the children's confused minds, it's the only explanation for her weird habits, although I wish they didn't have to discuss it quite so often.
To depart with these children now is hard, but I shall probably revisit the pages of their stories again someday.
