Lucy Maud L.M. Montgomery Books Overview

Anneof Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling series of books by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery first published in 1908.

The three books in this edition, Anne of Green Gables Anne of AvonleaAnne of the Island are the first 3 volumes of the series and are the parts of the series most suited for young readers.

Anne of Avonlea

Anne of Avonlea is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It was first published in 1909. The book starts by revealing that Anne is to be the teacher of the Avonlea School, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. The book soon introduces Anne’s new and problematic neighbor, Mr. Harrison and his charming parrot, as well as the twins, Davy and Dora. They are the children of Marilla’s third cousin and she adopts them when their mother dies. Dora is a nice well behaved girl, while Davy is a little more of a handful and gets into many scrapes. Other characters introduced are some of Anne’s new pupils, such as Paul Irving, an American boy living with his grandma in Avonlea. He delights Anne because of his imagination and childish ways, which are a lot like Anne’s in her childhood. Later in the book, Anne and her friends meet Miss Lavender, a nice but lonely lady who had been engaged to Paul’s father 25 years before. Among other things, during this book, Anne discovers the delights and troubles of being a teacher, takes a part in the raising of Davy and Dora, and organizes the A.V.I.S. Avonlea Village Improvement Society, which tries to bring improvements to Avonlea with questionable results. This book sees Anne maturing slightly, even though she does not avoid having a few of her familiar scrapes, as only Anne can some of which include selling her neighbor’s cow having mistaken it for her own, or getting stuck in a broken duck house roof.

Rainbow Valley

Rainbow ValleyCHAPTER I Home AgainIT was a clear, apple green evening in May, and Four Winds Harbour was mirroring back the clouds of the golden west between its softly dark shores. The sea moaned eerily on the sand bar, sorrowful even in spring, but a sly, jovial wind came piping down the red harbour road along which Miss Cornelia’s comfortable, matronly figure was making its way towards the village of Glen St Mary. Miss Cornelia was rightfully Mrs. Marshall Elliott, and had been Mrs. Marshall Elliott for thirteen years, but even yet more people referred to her as Miss Cornelia than as Mrs. Elliott. The old name was dear to her old friends; only one of them contemptuously dropped it. Susan Baker, the gray and grim and faithful handmaiden of the Blythe family at Ingleside, never lost an opportunity of calling her ‘Mrs. Marshall Elliott,’ with the most killing and pointed emphasis, as if to say ‘You wanted to be Mrs. and Mrs. you shall be with a vengeance as far as I am concerneTable of Contents CONTENTS; CHAPTER PAGE; I Homk Again i; II Sheer Gossip 7; III Tjie Ixgleside Children 21; IV The Manse Children 30; V The Advent of Mary Vance 43; VI Mary Stays at the Manse 61; VII A Fishy Episode 68; VIII, Miss Cornelia Intervenes 78; IX Una Intervenes 88; X The Manse Girls Clean House 102; XI A Dreadful Discovery 112; XII An Explanation and a Dare 11S; XIII The House on the Hill 229; XIV Mrs Alec Davis Makes a Call 142 XV More Gossip 154; XVI Tit for Tat 165 ; XVIL A Double Victory 182; XVIII Mary Brings Evil Tidings 195; XIX Poor Adam! 202; XX Faith Makes a Friend 208; XXI The Impossible Word 216; XXII St George Knows All About It 229; XXIII The Good Conduct Club 237; viiAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.

The Story Girl

Felix and I, on the 1’Iay morning when 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 The Story Girl.

The Golden Road

I’ve thought of something amusing for the winter, I said as we drew into a half circle around the glorious wood fire in Uncle Alec’s kitchen. It had been a day of wild November wind, closing down into a wet, eerie twilight. Outside, the wind was shrilling at the windows and around the eaves, and the rain was playing on the roof. The old willow at the gate was writhing in the storm and the orchard was a place of weird music, born of all the tears and fears that haunt the halls of night. But little we cared for the gloom and the loneliness of the outside world; we kept them at bay with the light of the fire and the laughter of our young lips. We had been having a splendid game of Blind Man’s Buff. That is, it had been splendid at first; but later the fun went out of it because we found that Peter was, of malice prepense, allowing himself to be caught too easily, in order that he might have the pleasure of catching Felicity which he never failed to do, no matter how tightly his eyes were bound. What remarkable goose said that love is blind? Love can see through five folds of closely woven muffler with ease!

Emily of New Moon

Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely until her beloved father died. Now Emily’s an orphan, and her mother’s snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon Farm. She’s sure she won’t be happy Emily deals with stiff, stern Aunt Elizabeth and her malicious classmates by holding her head high and using her quick wit. Things begin to change when she makes friends: with Teddy, who does marvelous drawings; with Perry, who’s sailed all over the world with his father yet has never been to school; and above all, with Use, a tomboy with a blazing temper. Amazingly, Emily finds New Moon beautiful and fascinating. With new friends and adventures, Emily might someday think of herself as Emily of New Moon.

Emily Climbs

Emily Starr was born with the desire to write. As an orphan living on New Moon Farm, writing helped her face the difficult, lonely times. But now all her friends are going away to high school in nearby Shrewsbury, and her old fashioned, tyrannical aunt Elizabeth will only let her go if she promises to stop writng! All the same, this is the first step in Emily’s climb to success. Once in town, Emily’s activities set the Shrewsbury gossips buzzing. But Emily and her friends are confident Ilse’s a born actress, Teddy’s set to be a great artist, and roguish Perry has the makings of a brilliant lawyer. When Emily has her poems published and writes for the town newspaper, success seems to be on its way and with it the first whispers of romance. Then Emily is offered a fabulous opportunity, and she must decide if she wants to change her life forever.

Emily’s Quest

The third and final volume of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s celebrated Emily trilogy, Emily s Quest is a vigorously drawn study of a woman coming to terms with love and her own ambition. In no other novel did Montgomery explore more fully the beauty, complexity, and wonder of love. In every detail, this mature novel, by one of the world s best loved authors, captures the drama and confusion of a young life on the brink. Along with Emily of New Moon and Emily Climbs, Emily s Quest is an honest and poignant portrait of a singular woman. From the Paperback edition.

Mistress Pat

All she could ever ask of life was bound in the magic of the lovely old house on Prince Edward Island, ‘where good things never change.’ And now there was more than ever to do, what with planning for the Christmas family reunion, entertaining a countess, playing matchmaker, and preparing for the arrival of the new hired man. Yet as those she loved so dearly started to move away, Pat began to question the wisdom of her choice of Silver Bush over romance. Was it possible to be lonely at Silver Bush?From the Paperback edition.

Kilmeny of the Orchard

The sunshine of a day in early spring, honey pale and honey sweet, was showering over the red brick buildings of Queenslea College and the grounds about them, throwing through the bare, budding maples and elms, delicate, evasive etchings of gold and brown on the paths, and coaxing into life the daffodils that were peering greenly and perkily up under the windows of the co eds’ dressing room. A young April wind, as fresh and sweet as if it had been blowing over the fields of memory instead of through dingy streets, was purring in the tree tops and whipping the loose tendrils of the ivy network which covered the front of the main building. It was a wind that sang of many things, but what it sang to each listener was only what was in that listener’s heart. To the college students who had just been capped and diplomad by ‘Old Charlie,’ the grave president of Queenslea, in the presence of an admiring throng of parents and sisters, sweethearts and friends, it sang, perchance, of glad hope and shining success and high achievement. It sang of the dreams of youth that may never be quite fulfilled, but are well worth the dreaming for all that.

Magic for Marigold

Lorraine secretly liked the name Marigold, but who would ever agree to such a fanciful name as that? When the baby falls ill and gentle Dr. M. Woodruff Richards saves her life, the family decides to name the child after the good doctor. But a girl named Woodruff? How fortunate that Dr. Richards’s seldom used first name turns out to be…
Marigold! A child with such an unusual name is destined for adventure. It all begins the day Marigold meets a girl in a beautiful green dress who claims to be a real life princess…
. From the Paperback edition.

The Blue Castle

Then a letter arrived from Dr. Trent — and Valancy decided to throw caution to the winds. For the first time in her life Valancy did and said exactly what she wanted. Soon she discovered a surprising new world, full of love and adventures far beyond her most secret dreams.

A Tangled Web

Over the years sixty members of the Dark family and sixty Penhallows have married one another but not without their share of fighting and feuding. Now Aunt Becky, the eccentric old matriarch of the clan, has bequeathed her prized possession: a legendary heirloom jug. But the name of the jug’s new owner will not be revealed for one year. In the next twelve months beautiful Gay Penhallow’s handsome fiance Noel Gibson leaves her for sly and seductive Nan Penhallow; reckless Peter Penhallow and lovely Donna Dark, who have hated each other since childhood, are inexplicably brought together by the jug; Hugh and Joscelyn Dark, separated on their wedding night ten years ago for reasons never revealed, find a second chance all watched over by the mysterious Moon Man, who has the gift of second sight.

Chronicles of Avonlea

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Ill EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE The honey tinted autumn sunshine was falling thickly over the crimson and amber maples around old Abel Blair’s door. There was only one outer door in old Abel’s house, and it almost always stood wide open. A little black dog, with one ear missing and a lame forepaw, almost always slept on the worn red sandstone slab which served old Abel for a doorstep; and on the still more worn sill above it a large gray cat almost always slept. Just inside the door, on a bandy legged chair of elder days, old Abel almost always sat. He was sitting there this afternoon a little old man, sadly twisted with rheumatism; his head was abnormally large, thatched with long, wiry black hair; his face was heavily lined and swarthily sunburned; his eyes were deep set and black, with occasional peculiar golden flashes in them. A strange looking man was old Abel Blair; and as strange was he as he looked, Lower Car mody people would have told you. Old Abel was almost always sober in these, his later years. He was sober to day. He liked to bask in that ripe sunlight as well as his dog and cat did; and in such baskings he almost always looked out of his doorway at the far, fine blue sky over the tops of the crowding maples. But to day he was not looking at the sky; instead, he was staring at the black, dusty rafters of his kitchen, where hung dried meats and strings of onions and bunches of herbs and fishing tackle and guns and skins. But old Abel saw not these things; his face was the face of a man who beholds visions, compact of heavenly pleasure and hellish pain, for old Abel was seeing what he might have been and what he was; as he always saw when Felix Moore played to him on the violin. And the awful joy of dreaming that he was young again, with unspoiled life…

Further Chronicles of Avonlea

Max always blesses the animal when it is referred to; and I don’t deny that things have worked together for good after all. But when I think of the anguish of mind which Ismay and I underwent on account of that abominable cat, it is not a blessing that arises uppermost in my thoughts. I never was fond of cats, although I admit they are well enough in their place, and I can worry along comfortably with a nice, matronly old tabby who can take care of herself and be of some use in the world. As for Ismay, she hates cats and always did. But Aunt Cynthia, who adored them, never could bring herself to understand that any one could possibly dislike them. She firmly believed that Ismay and I really liked cats deep down in our hearts, but that, owing to some perverse twist in our moral natures, we would not own up to it, but willfully persisted in declaring we didn’t.

The Alpine Path: The Story of My Career

Montgomery, 1874 1942 was a Canadian author, best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables 1908.

The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 1

A bestseller in Canada, this book will fascinate the legions of devoted readers of Anne of Green Gables and Montgomery’s other Anne books. Lucy Maud Montgomery 1874 1942 kept extensive journals for most of her life, beginning them in 1889 when she was fourteen and continuing them until shortly before her death. Spontaneous and frank, they are unusual for their narrative interest: Montgomery’s gifts as a storyteller are as much in evidence here as in her novels. This first volume takes her to 1910, the year before her marriage, and culminates with the publication of Anne of Green Gables. The autobiographical content will intrigue every dedicated fan of the Anne books. But the Mongomery journals are especially interesting because they provide a unique social history and the privelege of viewing closely the life of a remarkable woman. About the Author:Mary Rubio is Literary Adviser to the Estate of L.M. Montgomery and is preparing the authorized biography. Elizabeth Waterston is Professor of English at the University of Guelph. Together they edit CCL: Canadian Children’s Literature: A Journal of Criticism and Review

The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 2

An instant best seller in Canada, the first volume of The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery recorded the growing power and imagination of one of the world’s best loved writers, the author of the classic novel for children, Anne of Green Gables. The London Free Press hailed it as ‘pure gold, the deeply felt, finely evocative rendering of years both heartbreakingly sad and splendidly triumphant,’ and The Montreal Gazette termed it ‘one of the most haunting documents in Canadian literary history.’ The second volume promises to be equally intriguing and powerful. Ranging from 1910 to 1921, Montgomery’s revealing journal documents a time of great upheaval, both in her life and in the world around her. Here she records her thoughts about the death of her rigid, intolerant grandmother, who had ruled her life so strickly…
her troubled marriage to the Reverend Ewan Macdonald…
the move from her beloved Prince Edward Island to a small Ontario town…
her shocked reaction to the First World War…
and the rewards and difficulties of being a noted writer. Spontaneous and frank, these journals are unusual for their narrative interest: Montgomery’s gifts as a storyteller are as much in evidence here as in her novels. The autobiographical content will intrigue every dedicated fan of Anne of Green Gables and the other Anne books, but the Montgomery journals are also interesting because they provide a unique social history and the privilege of viewing closely the life of a remarkable woman.

The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 3

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, beginning them in 1889 when she was fourteen and continuing them until shortly before her death.

The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 4

Of the earlier volumes of L. M. Montgomery’s journals, Pulitzer Prize winning author Carol Shields has written: ‘These diaries possess the crisp, honest, unsparing voice of a real woman who fought all her life to bring her two selves together: the celebrated writer and the unloved child.’ Now comes the much anticipated fourth, and penultimate, volume in the series, covering the tumultuous period from 1929 to 1935.

Yet this is not a period without joy, as the volume opens with exuberant travels to Prince Edward Island and western Canada and ends with her looking forward to a new life in Toronto. For anyone wishing to better understand this complex and gifted author, as well as the time and place in which she lived, these journals offer a wealth of insight and information.
