The Alpine Path - Lucy Maud Montgomery

[goodreads]

Title: The Alpine Path Author: Lucy Maud Montgomery Genre: Biography Rating: 6/10 # pages: 96 Date read: July, 2008

Summary: Lucy Maude Montgomery, the creator of Anne of Green Gables, wrote this charming autobiographical memoir in mid-career. It originally appeared as a series of magazine articles, and is the most complete account Montgomery published of her childhood and early years as a writer. Montgomery was determined to become a writer, and she never wavered in her resolve. She was practical, hardworking, and a thorough professional, proud of her accomplishments.

Review: L.M. Montgomery is an excellent writer, one of the few who's able to make both fiction and non-fiction interesting, and I would probably have rated this a lot higher, if it wasn't for the fact that I've read all her journals more than once, and therefore got absolutely nothing new out of this book. I hadn't realized it was more or less just a direct copy of select entries. So good enough for what it is, but unnecessary reading for anybody who's read the first two journals and/or "The LMM Album".
