YESSS BLUE CASTLE

The Blue Castle is perfection and the Late Annes are mostly LMM being bored to death of Anne and going, "You people want cute kids? HERE. CUTE KIDS ALL OVER THE PLACE. Heirloom brooches or beads or whatever? Here's TWENTY-SEVEN HEIRLOOM BROOCHES WITH THE CREEPY HAIR INSIDE. Beautiful tragic-past-having virtue ladies and their long-lost suitors? FINE, HAVE A WHOLE GORRAM PILE. Blah, blah, magic of childhood, blah, blah, gossip, new hats, plum puffs, namesakes; whatever. I am so done." Only in meticulously vivid prose that perfectly captures the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island.

To be honest, I think even Anne of Avonlea is kind of disappointing though Anne of Green Gables gets better every time I read it.

I like Rilla of Ingleside, though.

Lord of the Flies was AWFUL. I should re-read it just to see if it's really as terrible as I remember.

That is the best review of the Late Anne books I have ever read. Bravo.

I have to ask--are you from the Island? Just your comment about her capturing the beauty of it. I'm in NS and have an aunt and some cousins who live on PEI.

I do like your review of the later Anne books. *heh*

No, I'd never been there until just a couple years ago (for the L. M. Montgomery conference, actually, because shouting about my love on Livejournal just wasn't enough anymore). But I was really impressed by how precise and vivid her depiction of the landscape had been -- how even the wind was as familiar as something from my own childhood. It wasn't totally unexpected; I always knew LMM was unusually good at setting and nature description. But just how good she was didn't hit home until I set foot there.

(and now I want to go see Muskoka, but that probably won't happen for a long while).
