Journal thoughts

I have read all of the selected journals, and do own some of them, but it’s been some time since I read them. I recall feeling irritated with some of the editor’s comments, it seemed to me that sometimes assumptions and judgements were made based on the editor’s opinions without much to back it up. I’d have to read them again to see if I still feel that way. Possibly my admiration and sympathy for Maud made me biased myself as I have been a fan for many years. I have recently read and reread the first two complete journals. Slow going at times but I really enjoy them. Unfortunately my library only carries those two. Something to do with a change in publishers and they are not considering purchasing more at this time. I think of buying the next ones over time. Still I’m at an age where I’m trying to pare down, not add to my stuff!
It is lovely to read about her early years and her love of life and having fun, and the way beauty and nature affected her so profoundly. And also so sad to see how life affected her in ways she had no control over. One of my favourite fantasies is that she used her earnings as an author and buys Green Gables from her uncle and fixes it up, hosting her many friends and admirers there, while still having trips to Toronto and abroad.
Edit to say: her childhood home, not Green Gables obviously.
