Reviews for The Alpine Path

[rainbowdarling · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Alpine Path is not a long nor an overly detailed look into Montgomery's life following the publication of Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea and The Story Girl, but it is both amusing and satisfying. It gives a picture into the life of a woman who was able to delight people everywhere with her slice-of-life stories and humorous situations. She has a sharp wit in her style and her personality simply shines through in the writing of the autobiography of her career.
