The King Family books consist of The Story Girl (1911) and The Golden Road (1913). Both are set on a Prince Edward Island farm and follow a group of cousins during a year of childhood adventures. The central character is Sara Stanley, nicknamed the Story Girl, whose gift for spinning tales makes her the most fascinating person in the group.
The Golden Road continues the story with the same cast of characters, following them through the seasons. Montgomery wrote these books between the early Anne novels, and they share the same affection for PEI’s landscape and the rhythms of rural life, though the emphasis on storytelling as an art makes them distinct.
