I know Anne of Green Gables doesn't fit in with anything scary or supernatural. But I've been reading Montgomery's work, and I'm just bowled over by her writing style and skill. She has what Truman Capote said he enjoyed about writing, "The music the words make."
She has that and a flowing way of weaving setting and characters together. If someone hasn't tried his hand at creative write himself, one might not realize the masterly quality of her work. It reminds me of the time when Mozart was active. All of the German children were expected to play an instrument, usually the piano, if the family could afford to have one.
Anyhow, I was just wondering what other people think of when they read something as graceful and well composed as Montgomery's writings.
