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, then marry and move from her home in Prince Edward Island. While the subject might not be of great interest to the very young aundience it's geared toward, it will delight anyone who knows and loves Maud's works. The author tells the story very accuarately, using quotes from Maud's Journals, indicating the great ammount of research both author and illustator must have put into creating this book. The accuracy is especially telling in Janet Wilson's beautiful impressionist illustrations. It's fun to spot different LMM treaures in the pictures, like Maud's crazy quilt and the first edition cover of Anne of Green Gables. It's a book well worth buying.
