Anne of Green Gables revisited – again
Have you seen this? I want everything on this page. I’ve written about Anne before, a few times. But – as with any extraordinary book – every time I read or listen to it something different sticks with me. As … Continue reading

The Blue Castle – L.M. Montgomery
The Blue Castle has been one of my favorite books since the first time I read it, more years ago than I care to dwell on. My childhood and youth was nothing like Valancy Sterling’s – my family was pretty … Continue reading
The Blythes are Quoted – L.M. Montgomery
What a melancholy book. (There will be some spoilers here for the story of the Blythe family: be warned.) A collection of stories in which the Blythes are more or less tangential – “quoted”, bracketed by post-Great War snippets of … Continue reading

Emily of New Moon – L.M. Montgomery/ Susan O’Malley
I read through just about all the L.M. Montgomerys last year, except for Emily. The main reason was that I simply couldn’t find Emily of New Moon (still can’t find the book). There was a small, faint secondary cause in … Continue reading
Anne of Avonlea: In defense of Miss Lavendar
I mentioned in one of the other posts that Miss Lavendar has always been one of my favorite characters in the Anne oeuvre. Now that I’m an old maid myself, I take her as something of a patron saint. … Continue reading
