AUNT PHILIPPA AND THE MEN by LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY

Author: Jon Hagadorn January 31, 2026 Duration: 35:15

In this great short story by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, a young lady (Ursula) is ordered by her father to place some distance between herself and her suitor for the summer, and she is sent to live with her aunt on the coast. Her Aunt Philippa is a "speaks-her-mind" type of old school aunt, and does her best to discourage Ursula from marrying just anybody. Aunt Philippa is a character and a story you will want to share with your friends- and we hope you do!
