| My Dear Mr. M. |
| Letters to G. B. MacMillan from Lucy Maud Montgomery |
| Edited by Francis W. P. Bolger and Elizabeth R. Epperly |
Lucy Maud Montgomery was a keen letter-writer. Her
letters to George Boyd MacMillan over their thirty-nine
year friendship show the full range of her interests, from
domestic concerns, her cats and gardening, to her
professional literary career as best-selling author.
She shares with MacMillan the joys and burdens of her
life. She is proud of her two sons and is excited by new
inventions such as motor cards and the talkies. At the
same time, she is saddened by the encroachment of
"progress" on her idyllic, rural Prince Edward Island.
She agonizes over the campaigns of the two World Wars
and never recovers completely from the death of her
closest friend.
During her friendship with MacMillan, L.M. Montgomery
changes from a confident and cheerful young woman to a
disillusioned but courageous old woman. After her
retirement to "Journey's End" in Toronto, distraught by
family problems and depressed by the Second World War,
her health and spirits fall.
These letters are really an intimate autobiography
delivered in instalments and will delight all readers of
Lucy Maud Montgomery's books.
