...will let the growing number of Montgomery's "serious" readers-come-lately see the movement toward the new critical possibilities that scholars have increasingly come to find in L.M. Montgomery and her work. * English Studies In Canada *
Reimer does considerable service to the study...because of the inclusion of a consciousness-raising bibliographic essay...excellent critical writing... * Australian Library Journal *
