Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), whose ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and many other novels are loved by readers around the world, 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. 424 pages, paperback from Oxford University Press.
