Ellen: The Story of the Orphan Whose Adoption By… door John H. Willoughby
I enjoyed this book immensely. It was a wonderful story that took me back to Prince Edward Island that I visited this summer.

Thank you very much John for writing this story
I came across this little book for sale in a motel in Cavendish. The cover was attractive and appealed to me as a fan of Anne of Green Gables.

The events in Anne's life were fictional, but the story is set in Cavendish, and Montgomery made that little community come so much to life in her books. Ellen is a good little read as an accompaniment to the Anne books.… (meer)
