Montgomery. /The Road to Yesterday/ omits all the dialogue, all but one of the poems, shortens most of the short stories, and changes the order of some of the stories besides. But it's actually more complicated than that, because /The Road to Yesterday/ is abridgment of an earlier typescript, so there are also a number of minor differences between the two versions. Ultimately, though, what is now available for the first time is the complete and unabridged version of the book that Montgomery submitted to her publishers on the day of her death. Hi Heather,

Please correct me if I am wrong. To clarify, I assume that, because it is “complete and unabridged”, it will include the text from “The Road to Yesterday” but in its original form.

I apologize for any inaccuracies--I'm just trying to figure it out for myself. :) From what I've gathered, "The Road to Yesterday" is an incomplete, jumbled up version of "The Blythes Are Quoted". Will "The Blythes Are Quoted" include the material which was included in "The Road to Yesterday", or will said material be excluded? I'm incredibly curious as to what the intended sequence of the pieces was/is. I haven’t been able to find this information and am not sure if I’ve simply missed it.

Ben - thanks for your comment, I had been looking on Amazon UK and Amazon US and couldn't find anything about it for pre-order, didn't think to try .ca! I will go order my copy now. :) This sounds really exciting!

The reason you haven't found a listing for /The Blythes Are Quoted/ on Amazon.com is that there is not yet an American edition of the book. It will be published in Canada only this October, but you can order a copy of it on Amazon.ca. In the meantime, have you read Montgomery's Emily books? It's about a young girl who wants to become a writer--I think you'll enjoy it. The first book in the series is /Emily of New Moon/, and it's followed by /Emily Climbs/ and /Emily's Quest/. As for the cover, I'll post it on this website as soon as it's safe to do so, so stay tuned! Best wishes, Ben Thanks very much for your comments, Sarah!

At the bottom of the list was "The Blythes Are Quoted" At once i started looking on amazon for the book. Unfortantly it wasn't there to my disiapointment! I was and still reading Anne of Green Gables series when i found out. It puzzled me for some weeks my mom was going to buy some stuff on amazon and told me i had some money on amazon left over from easter from a friend so i thought i would want to get a book i wasn't sure what book i wanted i was looking for at least one hour then i went on wikipedia and looked at all her books she wrote and then clicked on "the blythes are quoted" and then this website came up I learned it was coming out on my birthday month it made me SO excited i jumped up and down and told my mom! Later i choose to get the book story girl i heard it was her favorite book she wrote. Well I can't wait to go and buy the blythes are quoted! I feel like october is never going to come! summer is going fast but september won't! One day i hope i will be as good a writer as L.M.Montgomery she has made my imagination grow bigger and i see things more clearly and love it better because of HER fantastic writing! I’m SO excited!
