A review by rissaleighs
Pat of Silver Bush by L.M. Montgomery
4.0
I loved Pat of Silver Bush! Most of the "big" stories and series by L. M. Montgomery, I've grown up with, but Marigold, Jane, and Pat were somehow passed by in my girlhood reading lists. :) It's a delight to find that Maud's books are as enchanting to discover at nearly 20 as they were at 8.
This one was brimming with folklore in a way that gave it a slightly different feel from the others I've read. There was perhaps more of an old-time or backwoods feel--especially in the character of Judy Plum--than in the others, despite the fact that this one was set in the 1920s when that world was already growing old and disappearing.
Anyway. It was a joy to read. :)
Edit: I've just read over the other goodreaders' reviews, and I say! Poor Pat doesn't seem to be the most beloved of Maud's heroines by any stretch. Just for the record, I did not find her boring, and think she was only as selfish as most girls her age are, and that she had matured by the end of the book, though of course, at 18 one is still allowed to be quite a child. :) The love of Home really, really resonated with me.
