L. M. Montgomery: The Alpine Path The Story of My Career
Érdekes kötet volt, tele ismerős jelenetekkel, inspirációkkal, és – az egy dolog, hogy szeretnék a regényeiben élni, de rádöbbenni, hogy neki meg tényleg így is telt a gyerekkora…
Illetve betekintést nyújt, milyen úton jutott el addig, hogy megjelentek a művei. Az Anne válaszúton és az Emilyk persze adnak kisebb-nagyobb ízelítőt, de más ezt úgy olvasni, hogy az írónő meséli önmagáról.
Ami nem tetszett, az a vége. Szerintem felesleges volt belerakni az utazást.

A regényei ismeretében érdemes elolvasni szerintem. Rá lehet ismerni egy-egy történetre a könyveiből. Csak az a baj, hogy rövid. És továbbra is irigykedem, hogy van, aki a Prince Edward-szigeten nő föl…

The Story Girl was written in 1910 and published in 1911. It was the last book I wrote in my old home by the gable window where I had spent so many happy hours of creation. It is my own favourite among my books, the one that gave me the greatest pleasure to write, the one whose characters and landscape seem to me most real.

It has always seemed to me, ever since early childhood, that, amid all the commonplaces of life, I was very near to a kingdom of ideal beauty. Between it and me hung only a thin veil. I could never draw it quite aside, but sometimes a wind fluttered it and I caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond – only a glimpse – but those glimpses have always made life worth while.

Green Gables has been translated into Swedish and Dutch. My copy of the Swedish edition always gives me the inestimable boon of a laugh. The cover design is a full length figure of Anne, wearing a sunbonnet, carrying the famous carpet-bag, and with hair that is literally of an intense scarlet!

Of all the places we have visited in Scotland thus far I like Inverness best. In itself it is only a small gray town but the surrounding scenery is magnificent.
We drove out to Culloden the evening of our arrival and it is one of the drives that, for sheer pleasure, will always stand out in my memory. The road was exceedingly lovely and we were fortunate enough to have a nice old driver who knew all the history and legend of everything, and was very willing to tell it in delightful broad Scotch.

Well, my book was finally written. The next thing was to find a publisher. I typewrote it myself, on my old secondhand typewriter that never made the capitals plain and wouldn't print „w” at all, and I sent it to a new American firm that had recently come to the front with several „best sellers.” I thought I might stand a better chance with a new firm than with an old established one that had already a preferred list of writers. But the new firm very promptly sent it back. Next I sent it to one of the „old, established firms,” and the old established firm sent it back. Then I sent it, in turn, to three „Betwixt-and-between firms”, and they all sent it back. Four of them returned it with a cold, printed note of rejection; one of them „damned with faint praise.” They wrote that „Our readers report that they find some merit in your story, but not enough to warrant its acceptance.”
That finished me. I put Anne away in an old hat-box in the clothes room, resolving that some day when I had time I would take her and reduce her to the original seven chapters of her first incarnation. In that case I was tolerably sure of getting thirty-five dollars for her at least, and perhaps even forty.
The manuscript lay in the hatbox until I came across it one winter day while rummaging. I began turning over the leaves, reading a bit here and there. It didn't seem so very bad. „I'll try once more,” I thought. The result was that a couple of months later an entry appeared in my journal to the effect that my book had been accepted.

„Old Prince Edward Island” is a good place in which to be born – a good place in which to spend a childhood.

Much of the beauty of the Island is due to the vivid colour contrasts – the rich red of the winding roads, the brilliant emerald of the uplands and meadows, the glowing sapphire of the encircling sea.

Anne's Katie Maurice was mine. In our sitting-room there had always stood a big book-case used as a china cabinet. In each door was a large oval glass, dimly reflecting the room. When I was very small each of my reflections in these glass doors were „real folk” to my imagination. The one in the left-hand door was Katie Maurice, the one in the right, Lucy Gray. […] Katie Maurice was a little girl like myself, and I loved her dearly. […] Lucy Gray was grown-up and a widow!
