Lucy Maud Montgomery's scrapbooks from the years 1893 to 1910 provide a revealing look into her life and inspiration during the time she created the beloved character of Anne Shirley while living on Prince Edward Island as a college student, teacher, and writer. In Imagining Anne, over 100 pages of the scrapbooks are fully and beautifully reproduced in colour, and the significance of the souvenirs and clippings Montgomery collected are explained by Elizabeth Rollins Epperly. This beautiful gift book is a must-have for all Montgomery fans, lovers of Canadian history, and scrapbook enthusiasts. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The scrapbook pages are beautifully reproduced, although in the digital version of the book they did not enlarge very clearly, and it was therefore impossible to actually enjoy reading the news clippings or handwritten notes. Perhaps the finished product will be better. Most remarkable is the brilliant colors on many of the pages. Cut-outs of flowers blaze with vivid and attractive colors that she loved.
Each page is paired with a little bit of commentary about what Montgomery was memorializing or what symbols had meaning for her at different points in her life. Not all of them are very interesting to the casual reader, but I imagine it would be really satisfying to have these scrapbook pages at hand while reading Montgomery's journals.
