I have read the Anne series several times and loved it. I think [book:Rilla of Ingleside was my favorite for its unique perspectives on the First World War, which I know affected the author very deeply. I also enjoyed the follow-up novel to the series, The Blythes Are Quoted which is a lot darker than most of what we're used to seeing from Montgomery. Another of her books I really liked as a teen was Kilmeny of the Orchard. It's been a long time since I read that one - should read it again!

@Christine - I loved Rilla of Inglside too! I will have to add The Blythes are Quoted to my summer reads. I just finished the Emily of New Moon series which was terrific!

I haven't read Montgomery's "Emily" series. Shall have to give that one a look. I really do enjoy her work.

Very interesting, Susan. Thanks for sharing!

I'm really extremely impressed by this author and look forward to reading more of her books!

Oh they really were Christine. Absolutely loved them.

L.M. Montgomery is one of my favorite Canadian authors.

Today and 144 years ago, Lucy Maud was born... she shares a birthday with my eldest (not that he would be impressed by that).

I wish Goodreads had a "like" button - I like that bit of trivia, Susan, and the personal comment too!
