WHEN YOUR IMAGINATIONS COME TRUE
“Can Lucy and Katie eat with us?”
Grandma shook her head. “Nonsense. It’s for sure and certain they’re imaginary, Maud.”
“They aren’t nonsense. They live in the fairy closet behind the bookcase. I’m going to write about them.”
“Enough!” Casting his steely-eyed gaze at eight-year-old Maud, Grandpa pounded the table. “Ladies don’t write.”
Maud later wrote, “Down, deep down under all the discouragement and rebuff, I knew I would ‘arrive’ someday,”
During her lifetime Lucy Maud Montgomery published twenty novels, including Anne of Green Gables, over five-hundred short stories, an autobiography, and a book of poetry. She indeed, had arrived.
