The Road to Yesterday (L.M. Montgomery Books)

Before they started re-releasing L.M.'s short stories in paperback, my local library had a hardback version of this book. I checked that book out countless times. I still remember the faded pink cover with its fancy Victorian drawing. I read and re-read this book throughout my teenage years. I had doubts if the stories would translate into adulthood, but the humor lasts. I recommend this book to any L.M. fan. You can pick up this book and find an entertaining story to pass a trainride or a warm evening by the fire.

As a Lucy Maud Montgomery fan I loved this book. It showcases her amazing ability to make a character live and breath...even across 70 years. The only thing I did not like was the almost forced inclusion of the Blythe family. I bought this book BECAUSE it had further references to beloved Anne, however the insertion of a Blythe into every story was a bit of a drawback at times because the stories were not about the Blythes and just gave enough information to make you wish they were. Over all I would definately reccomend this to any reader who enjoys classic tales about human nature in all of its derivations. And after all, who ever wants to let go of Anne-with-an-e.

The Road To Yesterday is my favourite of Lucy Montgomery's collection of stories. It makes you want to live vicariously through the experiences of the characters. What is also lovely is that you read more about Anne's descendents and more about her as well. I cannot count the amount of times I have reread this book. You will not regret your purchase.

The Road to Yesterday contains many many wonderful stories about Glen St. Mary, where Anne and Gilbert and their children live. It gives a bit of insight into the Blythe family from the townspeople, as well as a few tidbits as to what became of the Blythe children (and even a little bit about the grandchildren) after the book Rilla of Ingleside. This is a wonderful book.
