This mega Kindle edition (by Delphi Classics) of the for the most part complete works of Lucy Maud Montgomery has honestly been (and continues to be) a pure and sweetly lovely personal reading pleasure. Containing not only ALL of Montgomery's novels in their entirety (from the Anne of Green Gables series to Jane of Lantern Hill), Complete Works of L.M. Montgomery also includes MOST of L.M. Montgomery's short stories as well as her poetry in sequential order (and as an added bonus, some of L.M. Montgomery's non fiction work, such as Courageous Women and her autobiography The Alpine Path: The Story of My Career). At over 6000 pages and priced at less than $3.00 Canadian on Amazon.ca, Complete Works of L.M. Montgomery is both a totally affordable superb deal and indeed and definitely also the absolutely most complete compilation of L.M. Montgomery's works I have found to date (and although it is a trifle annoying that the abridged The Road to Yesterday is included instead of The Blythes Are Quoted, for me, this is really just a very minor and trifling issue, and I for one absolutely do both love and massively appreciate especially this particular compilation, as it certainly makes reading and rereading my favourite L.M. Montgomery novels, short stories and the like so much easier and more pleasurable, as I can indeed now read them anywhere and on the go, without having to lug my often rather fragile hard cover L.M. Montgomery books around). Highly recommended, but yes, Complete Works of L.M. Montgomery is an e-book and thus, if one does not enjoy e-books, this version, while perhaps handy, might also not be one's cup of proverbial tea!

When I was a child in the 1960s I was rummaging through my mother's box of childhood books, looking for something to read. I had read "Black Beauty" so many times I could recite passages of it and I needed something new to read. My mother suggested I start reading her L.M. Montgomery books.

From the first page I was enthralled. I have read everything she has written, and she was a prolific writer. Some of her short stories were obviously used in her books and there is some repetition, but the first few times I read my mother's copies of the books I wasn't aware of the short stories. By today's standards some of the storylines are a bit romantic; but the comedy is ageless. I can still laugh out loud at some of the stories; especially a plot in "Emily Climbs" when Emily is interviewing a famous writer and a dog creates havoc in the room - a dog which eventually is revealed to belong to nobody in the room.

I tried to introduce my own daughter in Montgomery's books but she is not interested. I think these books are great for someone interested in life over 100 years ago as the day to day events reveal a way of life completely different. They are delightful.

I've never had a favorite author until now; but with each of her stories I have found that Lucy Maud Montgomery is my treasured kindred spirit.

I read about 4 or 5 of the Anne of Green Gables series in high school many years ago and I enjoyed them.
