About the book
This book I would say is my least favorite.

It's one of the two books I don't recall much from. The other one is Windy Poplars. I don't even remember what happened in it. This is a coincidence, because apparently Like Anne of Windy Poplars, L. M. Montgomery wrote Anne of Ingleside at the end of her life when she was heartily sick of Anne. The Depression had destroyed her finances, so she wrote another Anne book that her fans were clamoring for. http://www.sonderbooks.com/YAFiction/anneofingleside.html Says much doesn't it? :?

Somehow I don't like to think that LMM was tired of Anne. :(

Yeah, but thirty something years stuck on one character may had made her bored. Maybe the expectations of keeping the Anne books up at the same standards were hard.

Yeah, I would get tired of it too.

I've always wondered why there are fewer Emily books.

I don't know. Emily wasn't a school teacher or anything. She wrote books. It finished the story nicely; she was about to get married. :lol:

Aww..does she appear in the (Further) Chronicles of Avonlea?

No she doesn't. I like her but she was depressed alot.

What about that book Kilmeny of the Orchard. Have you read it?

Yep, and Jane of Lantern Hill.

Are they as despressing as Emily or as vibrant as Anne?

In between.

I don't think LMM ever wrote sequels for those books. There's also 'Akin to Anne', which I want to find and read, just to see if there's a relation to Anne.

I have read that book.
