For Lucy...L.M.Montgomery, because as long as there are Annes and Emilys we will never grow fully old;-)

 o-o-o-o-o! I wonder what this google-doodle is for, I said to Victoria when I turned on the computer this morning. Victoria laughed at my squeal of delight:)

  

 

In spite of, or because of much hardship in Lucy Maud Montgomery's personal life she left behind much joy for generations to come,

 to dream and delight in.

Thank-you, Lucy

For winsome worlds you let to page

Of girls, for girls, from age to age

To shed a little tear, to laugh

As we traverse a paragraph

Becoming Anne, Pat, Emily

We walk a world of poetry

Where once upon a time you took

A dream and made a storybook

To read on summer-winter’s eve

To revel in the make-believe

Of words woven into the art

Of being ever young at heart

…and mothers become girls a while

Or Marilla, touched by a child

-ish vision of faith undeterred

Then captured by the will of word

To be a happy hand-me-down

For girls never quite fully-grown

Here are some of the books I own, written by her...

It's true, what C.S. Lewis said,

“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty.”

— C.S. Lewis

so, 

have you read any of her books lately?
