Story of a naive girl who doesn't want anything to change.

RELEASE NOTES:

Giving to nimrodiel.

This made it here yesterday :)

I discovered Pat, after finding Anne, and Emily, and while she isn't my most favorite of Montgomery's girl heroines, I have read this book several times now...

Pat, like many of Montgomery's girls is a nature lover, is imaginative (though not as much as Anne Shirley), and unlike the others is very much a homebody. This clannishness is something that is a little odd to understand now, when families are spread so very far apart.

Though, we do see Pat grow, and change her opinions in the eleven year span of the book, she is still rather selfish and self centered when the book ends.

I found that Judy, and Jingle and poor Bets were more interesting charecters at times than Pat with her idea that she wan'ts nothing to change at all in her life.

I'm setting this aside to send as a birthday surprise later in the year along with the second book in the series.

This was in my birthday package. Thank you nimrodiel!! I have read the Anne series as a child and teenager several times and also the Emily books but missed Pat. So it's time to catch up!
