Sara Stanley livens up a rural community on Prince Edward Island by sharing her natural gift of storytelling, transporting listeners to another time and place. Like many of L.M. Montgomery's novels, The Story Girl is loosely inspired by real-life people and events. When Bev and Felix King encounter Sara Stanley, they are enamored by her ability to captivate both children and adults. While visiting their aunt and uncle's farm, they spend most of their time listening to Sara's imaginative tales. She, along with cousins, Dan, Felicity and Cecily, are occupied with extravagant narratives fueled by adventure, romance and the supernatural. It's a childhood experience the King brothers will never forget. The Story Girl highlights the youngest members of the King family and their penchant for creativity. Despite their quaint setting, Sara's fanciful tales breathe new life into their small town. It's an impressive talent that will bring her notoriety at home and beyond. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Story Girl is both modern and readable.

The Story Girl is a beautifully-written classic. A perfect piece of literature that could be enjoyed by anyone, young or old. Beverley and Felix (two brothers) get to visit their father's childhood home on Prince Edward Island. They meet up with the rest of the 'clan' living there, including several cousins and friends their own age, that they get to while away the summer with. The passing days include playful fancies, raucous romps, and poetic tales (as narrated by their cousin Sara Stanley, the Story Girl).
No matter what the children are up to, the Story Girl always has an amusing incident to tell about, whether truth or fiction. As the chapters flew by, I found myself amazed at just how many stories the Story Girl conveniently had memorized. It must be nice to have such enchanting things to tell, especially at just the right moments to share with others.
One thing to note: The children do get quite curious about religious subjects, and sometimes, when several of their young minds all give individual opinions, end up having a muddled view on certain points of the Bible. For me, this just added an extra bit of laughter!
L.M. Montgomery has a lovely writing style, always knowing how to convey the whimsical parts of story just right to give an extra spark, and playing out all the other emotions so appealingly. There are many scenes in this book which I just love, whether it was the children's banters, schemes, or naive tragedies. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of reading of her books!
