Lucy Maud Montgomery's Journals
"I have no doubt that it is a wise ordinance of fate -  or Providence?  - that I can not get all the books I want
or I should certainly never accomplish much.  I am simply a 'book drunkard'.   Books have the same irresistible
temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee.  I cannot withstand them."           ggggggggggggggggggggggg
                     - Lucy Maud Montgomery, from The Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery, Vol. II
The Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), the author of the classic novel for children,
Anne of Green Gables, kept extensive journals for most of her life.   She produced
some one million words in her private journals and requested in her will that these
journals be preserved and published.   The journals begin in 1889, when she was 14
years old.   

The Selected Journals of L. M. Montgomery were edited by Mary Rubio and
Elizabeth Waterston.   The journals provide us with a unique social history from a
woman's perspective and an intimate look at the life of Lucy Maud Montgomery.    
Montgomery's gifts as a storyteller are as much in evidence here as in her novels.  
The autobiographical content will fascinate every devoted reader of the Anne
books.   

The Montgomery journals are especially interesting because they provide a unique
social history and the privilege of viewing closely the life of a remarkable woman.    
The complete collection covers L. M. Montgomery's life from 1889 though 1942.

"Naturally the shore was part of my life
from my earliest consciousness.  
I learned to know it and love it in every mood.  
The Cavendish shore is a very beautiful one;
part of it is rock shore, where the rugged red cliffs rise steeply from
the boulder-strewn coves.  
Part is a long, gleaming sandshore, divided from the fields and
ponds behind by a row of rounded sand-dunes,
covered by coarse sand-hill grass."
