NOTES

We bring together these two novels; thought to be the only books written for an adult audience by L.M. Montgomery; in one volume for you to enjoy. The Blue Castle; originally published in 1926; is a story full of humor and romance about a woman named Valency and her discovery of a new world of love and happiness. Valency escapes the clutches of her overbearing family when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness and finds solace in her new friendships and new surroundings. A Tangled Web; originally published in 1931; is a tale that follows two intertwined families through a year of heartbreak and hilarity in a scramble to acquire a family heirloom. When Rebecca Dark realizes she is dying; she invites her extended family to one of her usual gatherings to inform them of her departure. After the shocking revelations of her will; a competition ensues between the rival family members. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874; New London; in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother; Clara Woolner (Macneil); died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel; titled "Anne of Green Gables." It was an instant success; and following it up with several sequels; Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942
