Love stories with a difference . . . There´s a kiss by a fireside that was a mistake, there´s a man-hating aunt by the seaside, and a gunman in Texas wanting a fight. There´s a white heron flying over a forest, and a messenger running between two benches in a park. And of course, there´s a girl who meets a boy . . .These love stories are by US writers Kate Chopin, Stephen Crane, Sarah Orne Jewett, O. Henry, and Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (author of the famousAnne of Green Gables ).
