A short story collection that LM Montgomery didn't want
That last story is a problem...
'Sequel' to "Chronicles of Avonlea" "Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat" -- Two sisters cat-sit their aunt's treasured white Persian while she's away for two months--until the cat disappears and one of the girls' annoying beaus comes to the rescue. A lighthearted tale for cat lovers. >> "The Materializing of Cecil" -- An old maid tries to impress the women in her sewing circle by concocting a tale of her imaginary past lover, Cecil Fenwick, who mysteriously materializes in Avonlea a short time later. Another amusing story. >> "Her Father's Daughter" -- A young woman invites her estranged father to her wedding against her mother's wishes. I thought their first meeting was slightly inappropriate, especially with the father asking for a kiss and hugging her when the girl wasn't aware of who he was. Not to mention the ending was a tad too contrived and sappy, though the daughter did show some backbone at least. >> "Jane's Baby" -- Two elderly, estranged sisters fight over possession of an orphaned child, even resorting to kidnapping. >> "The Dream-Child" -- The ghost of a young couple's 20-month-old baby returns to haunt them. An eerie, more darker story than the rest, but very good. I liked this one especially. "The Brother Who Failed" -- A family reunion is spoiled for one older man who is thought to be a failure by his Aunt Isabel, while his siblings are more successful with money and fame. >> "The Return of Hester" -- A young woman's difficult promise to her dying older sister of not marrying a certain man is revoked when her sister's ghost returns to play matchmaker. The ending was a bit abrupt. >> "The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily" -- After an unpopular old maid dies, she leaves Anne Shirley her diary in order for Anne and Diane to understand her. While Anne is mentioned in a couple other stories, it was nice to read from her perspective again, like in the Anne of Green Gables series, if only for a short bit, since the majority of the story is just diary excerpts. >> "Sara's Way" -- A young teacher's meddlesome two aunts try and push her to marry a well-to-do man against her wishes. But when his family suffers from financial trouble, she comes to his defense. >> "The Son of His Mother" -- An overly-possessive mother grows upset over her grown son's interest in another woman. This woman is obviously disturbed, and it's hard to like her, even with the story told from her point of view. Not one of the best here, and a bit too long. "The Education of Betty" -- A man offers to help his childhood sweetheart, a recent widow, in raising her wild 10-year-old daughter. After some time, he begins to develop unguardian-like feelings for the girl. This story almost felt like a G-rated Edwardian version of "Lolita." >> "In Her Selfless Mood" -- A young woman promises her dying mother that she'll care for her halfbrother. Readers will empathize with her, but question why she's so loyal to a family that dislikes her. >> "The Conscience Case of David Bell" -- A father's refusal to testify at their revivalist church makes his family feel disgraced. Not one of the best here. >> "Only a Common Fellow" -- A young bride's supposedly dead childhood sweetheart returns just in the nick of time on her wedding day. Romantics should like this one. >> "Tannis of the Flats" -- A multiracial woman's trip to Canada's Northwest ends in heartbreak when she falls for an English man who doesn't love her but another woman. There are some rather prejudiced remarks concerning Indians/Native Americans in this story, like referring to them as simple-minded "breeds" and stating that half-breeds are the worst enemy in the world--and that's just the beginning. Despite this ending story (and a couple others), "Further Chronicles of Avonlea" is a suitable read for everyone. I bought this book sometime when I was 9 or 10 and have enjoyed it ever since. Though this isn't a classic collection, diehard L. M. Montgomery fans will probably still like it, as well as the first collection: "Chronicles of Avonlea."

Editorial Review Book Description "I do like a road, because you can be always wondering what is at theend of it." The Story Girl said that once upon a time. Felix and I, on the May morningwhen we left Toronto for Prince Edward Island, had not then heard her say it,and, indeed, were but barely aware of the existence of such a person as theStory Girl. We did not know her at all under that name. We knew only that acousin, Sara Stanley, whose mother, our Aunt Felicity, was dead, was living downon the Island with Uncle Roger and Aunt Olivia King, on a farm adjoining the oldKing homestead in Carlisle. We supposed we should get acquainted with her when we reached there, and we had an idea, from Aunt Olivia's letters to father, that she would be quite a jolly creature. Further than that we did not think abouther. We were more interested in Felicity and Cecily and Dan, who lived on thehomestead and would therefore be our roofmates for a season. Customer Reviews (19)

Editorial Review Book Description Who ultimately is L.M. Montgomery, and why was there such an obsession with secrecy, hiding, and encoding in her life and fiction? Delving into the hidden life of Canada's most enigmatic writer, The Intimate Life of L.M. Montgomery answers these questions. The eleven essays illuminate Montgomery's personal writings and photographic self-portraits and probe the ways in which she actively shaped her life as a work of art. This is the first book to investigate Montgomery's personal writings, which filled thousands of pages in journals and a memoir, correspondence, scrapbooks, and photography. Using theories of autobiography and life writing, the essays probe the author's flair for the dramatic and her exuberance in costuming, while also exploring the personal facts behind some of her fiction, including the beloved Anne of Green Gables. Focussing on topics such as sexuality, depression, marriage, aging, illness, and writing, the essays strip away the layers of art and artifice that disguised Montgomery's most intensely guarded secrets, including details of her affair with Herman Leard, her marriage with Ewen Macdonald, and her friendships with Nora Lefurgey and Isabel Anderson. The book also includes rare photographs taken by Montgomery and others, many of which have not previously appeared in print. One of the highlights of The Intimate Life of L.M. Montgomery is the inclusion of a secret diary that Montgomery wrote with Lefurgey in 1903. This hilarious document is a rare find, for Montgomery's teasing banter presents us with a new voice that is distinct from the sombre tone of her journals. Published here for the first time, more than 100 years after its composition, this diary is virtually unknown to readers and scholars and is a welcome addition to the literature on this important figure. This volume fills in many of the blanks surrounding Montgomery's personal life. Engaging and erudite, it is a boon for scholars and Montgomery fans alike. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Book Description Ephraim Weber (1870Â1956) was a struggling young writer when he began corresponding with L.M. Montgomery (1874Â1942) in 1902, six years before she published her first novel. WeberÂs initial letter was that of an admirer. Montgomery responded warmly, and the two quickly began a correspondence that became an intellectual mainstay for both of them over the following forty years. After Green Gables is a fascinating collection of letters sent by Montgomery to Weber between 1916 and 1941. This was the period of MontgomeryÂs greatest literary success, but privately she was deeply troubled by her unhappy marriage. The letters, revealing an intense social and intellectual dynamic between Montgomery and Weber, cover, among other subjects, their strong differences of opinion on matters such as pacifism and war and their joint rejection of the effects of literary modernism. Drawing on WeberÂs voluminous correspondence with other Canadian figures  particularly journalist Wilfred Eggleston  editors Paul Tiessen and Hildi Froese Tiessen skilfully illuminate WeberÂs interaction with Montgomery, especially in matters concerning literature and culture, religion and politics, and education and entertainment. The editors provide various readings of Weber, based on his aspirations as a writer, his active participation in the Canadian culture of his day (including his friendships with hometown schoolmate William Lyon Mackenzie King and community leader Leslie Staebler), and his heritage as a Mennonite. After Green Gables brings to life a distinctly Canadian literary and intellectual association of writers. MontgomeryÂs letters to a man committed to writing and to the cultural development of Canada reveal her intellectual preoccupations and her personal hardships. This is an essential text for Montgomery fans and scholars as well as readers with an interest in the development of CanadaÂs literary culture. |

Excellent biography for those wanting to know more about LMM The authors also, I believe, have access to theoriginal, hand-written volumes of all of LMM's journals. This means theyknow what's in LMM's final journal, volume 5, which may not be publishedfor some time as some people she wrote about are still living. But theywere able to include other details of LMM's life after 1935, which alonemakes it worthwhile.
Superb brief biography! |
