Anne Blythe & Co.


The Dark Side of Anne with an E...

"A rediscovered work of fiction by L.M. Montgomery, handed to the publisher on the same day she died in 1942, could change the way Canadians think about the famous author of "Anne of Green Gables" and her writing. "The Blythes Are Quoted" is the last book in a series that began with "Anne of Green Gables," set in Prince Edward Island and first published in 1908. It takes the story of Anne and Gilbert Blythe, and their six children and housekeeper Susan Baker 20 years beyond anything previously published "and some of its subject matter is darker than we might expect," the publisher says.
The intriguing book, which hasn't before now been published in its entirety, is divided into two sections, one set before the First World War and one after." Apparently it's full of surprises...
