Ingleside Comments

Author of the beloved "Anne of Green Gables" and its many sequels, Lucy Maud Montgomery spent many years as the Presbyterian minister's wife in Leaskdale, Ontario, and drew inspiration for her writings from the places and people around her.

Leaskdale is about forty minutes drive north of Toronto, and the Manse is well signposted. Just across the road from the Manse is the farm of Mr Leask, which Montgomery used as the model for Ingleside (Anne and Gilbert's home - pictured, left). It's just as she describes in Anne of Ingleside, complete with red bricks and verandah. The Manse, of course, features in the novels as the home of the Meredith children. Anne's son, Jem (James Matthew), later marries Faith, a daughter of the Meredith family.

Montgomery lived at the Manse for fifteen years, writing many of her better-known novels while she resided there, and the plaque outside the Manse (mounted by the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario) gives a brief outline of the author's life:

"In this house (pictured, right) the author of "Anne of Green Gables" lived for fifteen years, and here wrote eleven of her twenty-two novels, including "Anne of the Island"(1915), and "Anne's House of Dreams" (1916). Born in 1874 at Clifton, Prince Edward Island, she was educated at Charlottetown and Halifax. From 1898 to 1911 she lived at Cavendish, P.E.I, and there began her career as a novelist. In 1911 she married the Rev. Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian minister, and came with him to Leaskdale. They moved in 1926 to Norval, and nine years later to Toronto, where she died in 1942. Mrs Macdonald was awarded the O.B.E (Order of the British Empire) by King George V in 1935."

When you visit Leaskdale, you are literally inside Anne's world. Although Montgomery was a writer of fiction, there are many parallels between her real life and the life of her characters. Below are a few of these parallels:

- Like Anne, Lucy Maud was separated from her parents at a young age. Montgomery's mother died giving birth to her, and her father remarried and went "out west", leaving Lucy Maud (known to her family as "Maud") in the care of her maternal grandparents, Alexander and Lucy Macneill, who were models for Marilla and Matthew.

- Like Anne, Maud was precocious in school and a celebrated scholar.

- Like Anne, Maud lived a long-term love-hate relationship with one of her fellow students, (Nate Lockhart) with whom she was romantically involved.

- Like Anne, Maud moved away from her childhood home to an area with a real "Ingleside", "Rainbow Valley" (pictured right and below) and Manse (which feature in the later novels of the "Anne" series).

- Maud attended college and became a teacher (before she married Macdonald). So did Anne.

- Maud had three sons. One of the sons was named after her father ("Hugh") and died young (as a baby). Anne also had three sons, one of whom was named after her father ("Walter") and died young.

- One of Maud's children, Hugh, died at birth. So did Anne's first child, Joy.

- It is also interesting to note that in every novel by Montgomery, the Minister's wife is a sympathetic and beautiful woman. Is it merely a coincidence that Montgomery herself was a minister's wife?
