Rainbow Valley: A Childhood Idyll

L.M. Montgomery scholar Maryam Khorasani joins us for a discussion of Rainbow Valley itself as both a physical place and a state of mind, drawing on our own childhood experiences and analyzing the characters' interactions with the natural world. We also discuss themes of childhood, imagination, friendship, and the transition to adulthood and are inspired by books with strong senses of place and third spaces.  

Inspired by:

Ragon is inspired by A Kind Of Paradise by Amy Rebecca Tan and by The Whalebone Theater by Joanna Quinn.

Kelly is inspired by The Eyes And The Impossible by Dave Eggers.

Maryam is inspired by The Fall Of The House Of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe.
