(My kiddos are too young to read these books yet and though I have the movie I will not let them watch it until they have read the books!) They will read this in JR High or Highschool.

I'm a Canadian who grew up reading Montgomery's work.<BR/><BR/>Have you read her autobiographical work "The Alpine Path?"<BR/><BR/>She was a very interestng woman. Recently, it was reported by one of her suriving grandchildren that she struggled with depression for a good many years.Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02288648996304246570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-84582300553979315072009-01-13T03:33:00.000-08:002009-01-13T03:33:00.000-08:00Errrr, sorry, that's me.

I'm thrilled to join (if you'll have me) and look forward to reading the Emily books again this January. It was time for a Montgomery "fix" anyway. So glad to connect with others who appreciate her work.Irishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17401356753813464657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-4335758980592685112009-01-05T07:37:00.000-08:002009-01-05T07:37:00.000-08:00I'm in!

I grew up on Anne of Green Gables, fantastic !! The Lord blessed me with 3 girls and at 5, 3 and 2, they are old enough to be introduced to Anne (with an E!). I have started reading them the tales and they are falling in love with the stories. it is wonderful to share these dear friends with them. This afternoon we watched some of the DVD, Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst, Richard Farnsworth and Jonathan Crombie really bring the characters perfectly to life, great casting.rachelhttp://bigskydreams.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-28329198754055447132009-01-03T21:58:00.000-08:002009-01-03T21:58:00.000-08:00Fun!
