"The Golden Road" is a 1913 novel by Canadian author L. M. Montgomery.
Background
As a child, Montgomery learned many stories from her great aunt Mary Lawson. She later used these in "The Story Girl" and "The Golden Road". [Writing a Life: L.M. Montgomery (Canadian Biography Series), Mary Rubio, Elizabeth Waterston] ]Montgomery married on July 5th 1911 and left Prince Edward Island. She arrived at Leaskdale, Ontario in October, where her husband served as the minister of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. She began work on this novel on April 30th, 1912, and gave birth to her first son on July 7th. She finished the novel on May 21, 1913, saying "I have been too hurried and stinted for time. I have had to write it at high pressure, all the time nervously expecting some interruption". The book was published on September 1st.[Mary Rubio, Elizabeth Waterston, "Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery Volume II: 1910-1921", Oxford University Press, 2000, ISBN 978-0195418019, pp. 67, 81, 96, 100, 119, 134] It was dedicated to Mary Lawson.]Plot summary
Beverley remembers his childhood days with his brother Felix and friends and cousins Peter, Felicity, Cecily, Dan, Peter, Sara Ray, and Sara Stanley (the "Story Girl"). The children often played in their family's orchard and had many adventures, even creating their own newspaper, called "Our Magazine".
Beverley's cousin Cecily dies of tuberculosis, and so never leaves the "golden road" of childhood.
