As the Winter Solstice approaches, itโs time for another free quarterly ebook. This time I bring you โChristmas at Red Butteโ, a delightful short story by the celebrated Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942).
In this post weโll read a wonderful autumn-themed poem by one of my favourite authors, Sarah Orne Jewett. Describing the scenery surrounding her hometown of South Berwick, Maine, the poet paints the picture of beauty and richness of a sunny November day.
Trick or treat! As another Halloween approaches, in this post Iโll give you a quick recap of the earlier articles and reviews related to this holiday, or somehow appropriate to it.
The poem featured in this post, Autumn Leaves, is found in Mary A. Maitland's book by the same title, published in 1907. Amidst the autumn gloom and the sad sight of fallen and crushed leaves, the poet is reminded that seasons will change again, ending the sense of grief and pain.
