Let's be clear from the start: this is not a novel. Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Lucy Maud Montgomery is exactly what the title says—a comprehensive list. Compiled from the free digital library Project Gutenberg, it organizes Montgomery's vast published work. You'll find her famous novels like the Anne and Emily series neatly listed alongside hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays that many readers have never encountered. It's a structured guide, sorting her prolific output so you can navigate it all.

Why You Should Read It

I say 'read it' loosely. You don't read an index; you use it. And that's where the magic happens. This book revealed a Montgomery I never knew. I clicked on a short story title called 'The Red Room' expecting a cozy tale and found a genuinely chilling ghost story. I found poems of stunning loneliness and nature observations that took my breath away. This index shattered my single image of her as just the author of a red-haired orphan. It showed me a writer of incredible range—funny, grim, romantic, and profoundly spiritual. It gave me the power to curate my own Montgomery journey beyond the well-trodden paths of Avonlea.

Final Verdict

This is a specialist's tool that becomes a reader's best friend. It's perfect for superfans of Anne or Emily who want to explore every corner of Montgomery's imagination. It's also ideal for students or researchers looking for a specific piece. But most of all, it's for the curious reader who loves the thrill of discovery. If you've ever finished a beloved book and wished there was more, this index shows you that there is—so much more. Keep it bookmarked on your device. It's the key to a lifetime of wonderful reading.
