What the Story Girl says about the King Clan

Each member of the King household has their own distinct qualities.  But from where did their personalities and features originate?

Here is a look at how the fictional story girl, Sara Stanley, viewed the members of her family.  With brief quotes taken from Lucy Maud Montgomery's, The Story Girl - the novel upon which the series is based - we can see how close the match actually is from page to screen.

 

Aunt

"Aunt Janet, a big, bustling, sonsy woman, with full-blown peony cheeks...gave us so much good advice and was so constantly telling us to do this or not to do the other thing, that we could not remember half her instructions, and did not try."

"To Uncle Alec we gave our warmest love.  We felt that we always had a friend at court in Uncle Alec no matter what we did or left undone."

"To be sure, Felicity was a stunning beauty.  But, with the swift and unerring intuition of childhood, which feels in a moment what it sometimes takes maturity much time to perceive, we realised that she was rather too well aware of her good looks.  In brief, we saw Felicity was vain."

Hetty:  "She was one of those people who always speak decisively.  If they merely announce that they are going to peel the potatoes for dinner, their hearers realize that there is no possile escape for the potatoes."

Olivia:  "She was dark, with a rich dusky sort of darkness, suggestive of the bloom on purple plums, or the glow of deep red apples among bronze leaves."

Shop At Sullivan is honouring the families in all if its series this week.  Take a look at the specials we now have on for the seasons of your favourite shows.
