02 Jul Lucy Maud and Me
It is 1942 and twelve-year-old Laura Campbell leaves Rocky Falls for her first visit to her grandfather in Toronto, a city bustling with the war effort and news from abroad. While looking for something to do in his quiet neighbourhood, she meets the reclusive woman living across the street who introduces herself as “Mrs. Macdonald”, but friends call her Maud. Laura is stunned to realize she is really in the presence of Lucy Maud Montgomery, the very same writer who penned her favourite novels.
