LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY wrote 11 of her 22 novels at home in rural Leaskdale, Ontario. Her personal journals tell her story. Here she wrote… and here she dreamed. The Leaskdale Manse was the first home the author could call her own. In 1911, she moved to Leaskdale, a prosperous farming community, soon after marrying Ewan Macdonald. He was a Prince Edward Islander who had become the community’s Presbyterian minister. She lived at the Manse for 15 years and raised 2 sons, Chester and Stuart. She became famous, for publishing "Anne of Green Gables".
...and the house has two lovely gables!
ReplyDeleteA lovely house. She also lived in a village not far from where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteShe had a fine house, Andy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful house. I wonder if it inspired 'green gables' because of the two gables here.
ReplyDeleteA fine looking house, I like it.
ReplyDeleteA solid looking home where this well noted family made history. Good to see the house well maintained.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, ANdy. Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the house. Rather like Anne of Green Gables too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house and of bricks, not wood. Nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice house to live in. The books I have never read , but I have heard about them.
ReplyDeleteI could read her books over and over again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house. Anne of Green Gables is one of my all-time favourite books ever since I was around 10 or so. Reread many times at different ages since then! :)
