Further Chronicles of Avonlea was published by Mongomery’s publishers, L. C. Page Co. without the author’s consent. This publication resulted in a 10-year lawsuit between Montgomery and her publishers. Allegedly, one of the stories was not written by Montgomery.[1]?

Further Chronicles of Avonlea was adapted for the early episodes of the popular television series, Road to Avonlea.
