Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town by Stephen Leacock



Amazon | Project Gutenberg

A wonderfully humorous book of interconnected short stories set in the small Canadian town of Mariposa—tales of its social life and politics, its romances and mishaps and everyday occurrences; charmingly nostalgic and often laugh-out-loud hilarious.

My review of this book.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery



Project Gutenberg

"Oh, what I know about myself isn't really worth telling," said Anne eagerly. "If you'll only let me tell you what I imagine about myself you'll think it ever so much more interesting."

One of the most beloved characters in literature, red-headed orphan Anne Shirley (Anne with an e, that is) transforms the lives of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert and the little town of Avonlea with her zest for life, her vivid imagination and her knack for getting into comical scrapes. Anne and her adventures are nearly impossible to ever forget.

A free edition is not currently available in the Kindle store, though there are a number of inexpensive ones.
