Description of the Book: The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 1: 1889-1910

For Advertisment

Already a bestseller in Canada, this book will fascinate the legions of devoted readers of Anne of Green Gables and Montgomery's other Anne books. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) kept extensive journals for most of her life, beginning them in 1889 when she was fourteen and continuing them until shortly before her death. Spontaneous and frank, they are unusual for their narrative interest: Montgomery's gifts as a storyteller are as much in evidence here as in her novels. This first volume takes her to 1910, the year before her marriage, and culminates with the publication of Anne of Green Gables. The fascinating journals collected here offer the reader not just a unique social history, but also the privilege of viewing closely the life of a remarkable woman.
