As an adult reader of the "Anne of Green Gables" series, I was drawn to this artful cover, a refreshing change from the juvenile formats. Sadly, the cover is the only enjoyable part of the book, due to the massive amount of faded text crammed onto each page, surrounded by minimal white space. The production of this format is an injustice to the author, rendering her delightful stories into a tedious, painful reading experience, where it is difficult to visually follow one line to the next. Do yourself a favor, and choose another published format of this book for your reading pleasure.Product details

Rainbow Valley Illustrated eBook Lucy Maud Montgomery Les productions luca Reviews
The actual story is good. The book I got looks like a knock-off version made in someone's basement. No publisher, but there is a barcode on the back. The picture and font on the front are generic and pixelated. The edge of the book (which is only half a centimeter thick) isn't perfectly straight and the cover is glued badly. Buy from an actual book company.
This was a sweet novella. It was fairly predictable, but pretty-well written. I didn't like the emphasis on beauty. As soon as anybody saw Kilmeny, they fell in love with her because she was so beautiful. Of course, she was also loving, kind, sweet, innocent, caring, etc., but the main point was that she was beautiful. So, it was kind of like a fairy tale with a beautiful heroine, a handsome hero, and a perfect ending. It didn't have any sex or swearing in it.
This one didn't live up to the memory I had of reading it as a tween. It was an early book of L.M.M.'s; boy takes over teaching position for sick friend, boy hears beautiful violin playing from an orchard, boy falls rump over teakettle in love with violinist, and is dismayed to find she is a fiercely protected mute girl who has hardly been out of her house since she was small. From then on it is a pitched battle as the hero seeks a way to make Kilmeny whole, and to make her his. In this one the ... I don't want to say racism; perhaps ethnocentricity is a kinder word, or xenophobia... comes out more strongly than in most. It's a slender book, sweet (as always), and wrapped up a little too neatly (as always) - and without the depth of charm that carries off any faults in the other books.
As all of Ms. Montgomery's writing, this story pulls the emotions out of you, and you hear yourself laughing, crying, or cheering your favorites on.
It is too bad that such innocent girlhood is even more rare now than it was then.
I highly recommend this story.
Charming lesser-known work by the author of Anne of Green Gables - it has a dreamy quality that is something like the sort of story Anne might have made up herself. It's a light romance with beautifully evocative descriptions, and a happy ending.
The cover art is beautiful, and hints at the story inside. The conversion is good as well.
Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the Anne stories. Montgomery creates lifelike and compelling characters who I cannot help but love. Their personalities come through clearly in their dialogue and I have always found that I could almost hear them in my mind. Rainbow Valley is no exception to this rule. I fell immediately in love with the Merediths and enjoyed catching up with old favourites. My only complaint is the plot structure, which tends to be episodic and rather more like Mongomery's 'Chronicles' than the rest of the Anne series. Never the less I really enjoyed revisiting this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the series, though in my opinion it would not stand alone well.
Kilmeny of the Orchard is a lesser-known novel written by L. M. Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables. The premise of the story is as follows eligible bachelor Eric Marshall goes to Prince Edward Island as a substitute teacher in his friend’s place. There, he meets Kilmeny Gordon. a beautiful and talented girl who steals his heart. Will Kilmeny’s scandalous birth and her disability prevent them from being together?
Eric Marshall is the handsome son of a well-known businessman, who has recently graduated from Queenslea College. Due to his wealth and statues, Eric is expected to find a suitable young lady to marry, yet he doesn’t want to rush. Not long after settling into the small town of Lindsey, the mesmerising notes of a lonely violin pull Eric into a gorgeous yet deserted orchard in which he comes across the most charming girl he has ever seen.
“To his latest day, Eric Marshall will be able to recall vividly (...) the velvet darkness of the spruce woods, the overarching sky of soft brilliance, the swaying lilac blossoms, and amid it all the girl on the old bench with the violin under her chin.” (p. 52)
Kilmeny is talented, childlike and mute. Though her aunt and uncle isolated her from the outside world, she is caring, well-read and clever. Her sweet nature and Eric’s friendly approach made the development of the romance enjoyable to read despite the stigma surrounding Kilmeny’s disability.
“More than ever at that instant did she long for speech—speech that would conceal and protect where dangerous silence might betray.” (p. 171)
Though Kilmeny’s birth and disability made her feel bad for herself, I think that both she and her mother Margaret were just struck by bad luck and not necessarily by moral misconduct or sin as the author implies. I actually see Margaret as a remarkable woman who had a strong personality that the rest of her family looked down upon, due to the mentality of the time.
I liked the way the orchard came to life along with its vivid colours and floral scents which formed an enchanted place where Kilmeny played her melancholic tunes. Though I enjoyed Eric and KIlmeny’s friendship and budding romance, I felt that the dialogue was pretty artificial and the characters were underdeveloped and blend. However, the thing that disappointed me the most was the unrealistic climax of the story that made me think of the Deus ex machina plot device.
As an adult reader of the "Anne of Green Gables" series, I was drawn to this artful cover, a refreshing change from the juvenile formats. Sadly, the cover is the only enjoyable part of the book, due to the massive amount of faded text crammed onto each page, surrounded by minimal white space.
