Great author list but, you might want to edit for L.M. Montgomery – it isn’t Kimberly of the Orchard, it’s Kilmeny. Your spellcheck might have missd that. By the way, The Blue Castle is one of my most favourite books.

Thanks! I had not caught that. And I just re-read The Blue Castle and it strikes me again each time just how well written that book really is.
