Lucy Maud and the Cavendish Cat a Joy for L M M Fans
As a huge L M Montgomery fan, Lucy Maud and the Cavendish Cat was such a joy to pour over.The book is told from the point of view of Maud's beloved cat, Daffy, as he watches the author find literary success, thenmarry and move from her home in Prince Edward Island.

While thesubject might not be of great interest to the very young aundience it'sgeared toward, it will delight anyone who knows and loves Maud's works. The author tells the story very accuarately, using quotes from Maud'sJournals, indicating the great ammount of research both author andillustator must have put into creating this book.The accuracy isespecially telling in Janet Wilson's beautiful impressionist illustrations. It's fun to spot different LMM treaures in the pictures, like Maud's crazyquilt and the first edition cover of Anne of Green Gables.It's a bookwell worth buying. ... Read more
