“What care I if it be "wild and improbable" and "lacking in literary art"? I refuse to be any longer hampered by such canons of criticism. The one essential thing I demand of a book is that it should interest me. If it does, I forgive it every other fault.”

― L.M. Montgomery, The Selected Journals Of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 3: 1921-1929
