| The Alpine Path |
| The Story of My Career |
| Lucy Maud Montgomery |
Lucy Maud Montgomery, the creator of Anne of Green
Gables and many other popular children’s stories
penned this memoir during World War I. It is
considered the most complete account she published of
her childhood on Prince Edward Island and her first
years as a writer. The Alpine Path references her long
and difficult journey to become a full-fledged writer and
describes, in charming detail, her childhood in rural
Prince Edward Island during the closing years of the
1800s. It originally appeared as a series of magazine
articles published in 1917.
Maud writes movingly about her family, friends, and the
Island way of life and through this memoir we learn how
these special people and places became the inspiration
for many scenes and incidents in her later novels.
Despite the rejection of her Anne of Green Gables
manuscript by many publishers, L. M. Montgomery
refused to be discouraged from her goal of becoming an
accomplished writer. Yet her remarkable success and
fame from the instant popularity of Anne of Green
Gables did not come without a price. All those who
have enjoyed the Anne stories will be fascinated by this
intimate background story by the author. Those who
love Prince Edward Island will be delighted by her
descriptions of the countryside and its people. No one
who reads The Alpine Path can fail to be impressed by
the personal appeal of Lucy Maud Montgomery.
