![]() Anne of Green GablesByLucy Maud Montgomery"I'm crying," said Anne in a tone of bewilderment. "I can't think why. I'm glad as glad can be. Oh, glad doesn't seem the right word at all. I was glad about the White Way and the cherry blossoms--but this! Oh, it's something more than glad. I'm so happy. I'll try to be so good. It will be uphill work, I expect, for Mrs. Thomas often told me I was desperately wicked. However, I'll do my very best. But can you tell me why I'm crying?"While Laura Ingalls Wilder may be the treasure of America's little girls, Lucy Maud Montgomery surely is Canada's. Her beautiful stories of a little girl growing up on Prince Edward Island is a classic worldwide; flowing language and description beyond the norm fill Montgomery's books. She is able to take ordinary life and make it something special through the eyes of her protaganist, who is experiencing for the first time what others took for granted. Through Anne and her other books, Montgomery was able to paint a picture of early 20th century life that was not only vivid but memorable. ![]() ![]() Books by Lucy Maud Montgomery: This is only a partial list.
