And ...No, I've not done this extended reading. And shame on me, for I just love that kind of thing. I will definitely hunt them down and devour them! That's what I did with Louisa May Alcott a summer ago. I just read everything about her I could get my hands on. I've done that with Isak Dinesen and a few others who got under my skin. Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />Alas! No fire needed here in Phoenix, although it was 50 outside this morning and cool inside as well. The cozy couch, cats, and tea will have to do!R.

Many years passed before my husband and I spent a week in PEI with visits to the places mentioned in LMM's books.<br />I may have asked this before: Have you read the volumes of LMM's journals? [edited by Mary Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston] I had the first two volumes on interlibrary loan from UVM and only 10 days to get through them--an experience that was draining and uplifting by turns.<br />Also "Writing A Life" by the same author collaboration, and "The Wheel of Things" by Mollie Gillen. <br />At one time I bought the entire Anne series as well as LMM's other books which were reissued in paperback. I think I'm now missing a few, but haven't plumbed the depths of the books moved across the country last year.<br />Both LMM's fiction and the biographies are worthy of re-reading--by the fire with cats and tea this winter!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.com
