L.M. Montgomery Quote
The Story Girl was written in 1910 and published in 1911. It was the last book I wrote in my old home by the gable window where I had spent so many happy hours of creation. It is my own favourite among my books, the one that gave me the greatest pleasure to write, the one whose characters and landscape seem to me most real. All the children in the book are purely imaginary. The old King Orchard was a compound of our old orchard in Cavendish and the orchard at Park Corner. Peg Bowen was suggested by a half-witted, gypsy-like personage who roamed at large for many years over the Island and was the terror of my childhood.
