Remembering Lucy Maud Montgomery A long awaited book has finally been published! Alexandra Heilbron interviewed more than 30 people who remember L.M. Montgomery as a relative, neigbour, minister's wife and author. This book is a useful resource to look at LMM from diverse perspectives. It would have been nice if the articles had their original publication dates, and the dates of interview, because some were previously published in the Avonlea Traditions Chronicle magazine for which Alexandra worked. It gives me an awkard feeling to read an interview with someone who has passed away without any comment in the book. |

This autumn, a new edition of Anne of Green Gables, with a foreword by Newberry author Kathereine Paterson, has been published. Anne of Green Gables It is sad for me to see that they deleted a line of dedication by Montgomery to her parents, and also a quote from Browning which should appear before the first chapter. However, the cover photograph is quite charming and it is nice to read the foreward by Paterson. |
