Whether or not I liked the book, I think they can often be really insightful because you get a sense of like, oh yeah, that's true.

That didn't really work with that book.

That can be fun.

Is that guidance, entertainment, or both for you?

I think both.

And I mean, sometimes it makes me really angry because I'm like, no, they totally missed what this book is trying to do.

Right.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

Yeah, I think.

And particularly on Amazon.

Right.

That happens.

It's like, yeah, that's not really about the book.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

So that would definitely, I think, be one of the misconceptions is that people think that she just wrote this one novel, Anne of Green Gables, and that people have misconceptions about that book, right?

Like it's beloved by many.

And yet I think it's easy to dismiss, especially if you just have like kind of a superficial understanding, whether you've gone to PEI and just seeing people running around with the straw hats and the red braids, it's easy to have misconceptions about the character.

And then just to think that that's Montgomery's only creation and something that I have just found so interesting about being in this job is learning about what an artist and creator she was across her life.

So she had a camera in the 1890s in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, which would have been really unusual.
