1 Montgomery, L.M. (Lucy Maud). Edited by Rea Wilmshurst. AKIN TO ANNE: TALES OF OTHER ORPHANS.
McClelland & Stewart, (Toronto, 1988), Ist edition. 
256 pp. 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w illus. ISBN 0771061560 "In this exciting collection of rediscovered tales - none of which have been available since its original publication (in newspaper or magazine) - L.M. Montgomery has b rought to life a multitude of characters who share not only Anne's initial loneliness and vulnerability but also her spunkiness and charm. Their stories are told in Montgomery's own inimitable, heart-warming style. This important new collecti o n r e claims at last a long-lost part of our rich literary heritage. Never before have these charming and poignant tales of orphans been assembled within one cover. Admirers of Montgomery will treasure this anthology; it reflects her personal ex pe r ie nc e of loneliness and lovelessness, and her bittersweet memories of adversity overcome." "Of the nineteen stories in this collection, only seven are about children. There are school girls alone in the world, middle-aged men and women wit h n o one to care for, and older men and women whose lives are empty of love and family. In keeping with her longing for a happier life for herself, Montgomery finds warm and loving homes for all her lonely characters." Minor rub and a tiny dint on re ar b oard . Dust jacket has very light rubbing, minor edge wrinkling, small corner crease on rear flap. Very Good+/Very Good+

University of Toronto Press, Toronto, (1993).

These characters are at the centre of Epperly's book, the first full-length critical study of all L.M. Montgomery's fiction. Epperly contends that Montgomery was a master of the romance genre, and through her use of literary allusions, repetitions, irony, and comic invers ions she deftly manipulated the normal conventions of romance novels. By studying the fictional biographies of the heroines and their pursuit of romance, Epperly question the ways romance shapes what we consider valuable in our imaginings and e x p e r ience. A book written for L.M. Montgomery fans and scholars." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very minor edge wear, clean and bright. Near Fine
