About this title: Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942)--whose 'Anne of Green Gables' and many other novels are loved by readers around the world--kept extensive journals for most of her life. This first volume takes her to 1910, the year before her marriage. It recounts her schooldays, her teaching years, and the publication of 'Anne of Green Gables'. 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.

"Nice to read this right between Canada's Independence Day and the USA's! My mom, who grew up in Montreal, introduced me to LM MOntgomery's fiction when I was very young. She had loved them as a girl. For years and years, new (to me, at least) LMM books were sent to me for Christmases and birthdays by my Canadian grandparents and great-aunts. I read them into pieces, as my daughter who inherited the much-loved copies can attest.
In some ways, Maud's journals from ages 14 to 33 remind me of her fictional books. In many ways, though, they are darker in tone. Montgomery had a harsh upbringing, struggled with depression and "neurasthenia" for years, and wrote out her sorrow and dark moods into the pages of her journal.
She apparently kept a journal all her life and so this is only the first volume of four. Clare says our county library only has the first one : (. Anyway, very interesting reading. Interesting to realize that many of the plot points in the Anne and Emily and other books are no more romantic and unusual than their author's actual life!"
"I've read all the Anne books and some of Montgomery's other novels and heard that these journals add another level to understand the author and reveal her to be more than a writer of children's books. That turned out to be true. In the first part of her life, Montgomery WAS Anne. She writes in such a lively, engaging style and the journal is full of events that kept me turning the pages. She had a LOT of guys wanting to marry her, too. She also suffered from depression and anxiety in her late twenties, which in those days (without modern medical treatment) must have been terrible. I am going to read the second volume to see how she ends up marrying the man who became her husband (she's engaged to him in a long-distance relationship by the end of this volume, but doesn't seem to be much in love with him.) A fascinating woman."
"Lucy Maude Montgomery is one of the trully great authors of modern times. She had a sad personal life but like so many she rose above it in her books. These 5 volumnes of her personal journals tell 'her' day to day story and causes me to respect the quality of her other books even more. Life was not easy and was very lonely and filled with not only emotinal pain but also physical pain . Prince Edward Island was her home even when she was not there and these books tell how her childhood values provided a lifetime of strenght of character to endure the adult years. In this day of noise and whatever feels good is good I recommend her works; all of them. There is more to life than the temporary."
