To celebrate Jon Hagadorn's 10 years of storytelling, we are doing a countdown of the most beloved stories. This week, #29, The Romance of Jedediah, by Lucy Maude Montgomery, one of our favorite authors here at 1001 Stories from the Gilded Age.

Next up in our "Best of the Gilded Age" countdown is Lucy Maude Montgomery's charming tale, "The Romance of Jedediah," which first aired on December 8th, 2024. We find that romance often "cares not for appearances and apparently delights in contradictions". Our hero, Jedediah Crane, is certainly a contradiction: despite a name that doesn't "savour of romance", a plump figure clothed in loud checks and a bright pink necktie, and his current profession driving a clinking, bright red pedlar's wagon, he is internally "bubbling over with romance". After fifteen years of absence, having left Amberley to seek his fortune, he returns a poor, tin-peddling failure, determined to look upon the Adams homestead again. He finds his former love, Mattie Adams, plumper and rosier, but still possessed of a remarkable placidity. While Jedediah revels in the "deliciously romantic" situation of reuniting with the woman he has loved all his life, the pair must contend with the watchful, angular figure of Mattie's sister, Selena Ford, who monitors their every move from her strategically positioned house on the hill. Join us to find out if the romantic "sitootion" of this old love rekindled can survive the judgment of Amberley society and the persistent interference of a spiteful sister.
