The Alpine Path:The Story of My Career by L. M. Montgomery.
This is the author of Anne of Green Gables series and other books
When the Editor of Everywoman's World asked me to write "The
Story of My Career," I smiled with a little touch of incredulous
amusement. My career? Had I a career? Was not should not a
"career" be something splendid, wonderful, spectacular at the very
least, something varied and exciting? Could my long, uphill
struggle, through many quiet, uneventful years, be termed a
"career"? It had never occurred to me to call it so; and, on first
thought, it did not seem to me that there was much to be said about
that same long, monotonous struggle. But it appeared to be a whim
of the aforesaid editor that I should say what little there was to be
said; and in those same long years I acquired the habit of
accommodating myself to the whims of editors to such an
inveterate degree that I have not yet been able to shake it off. So I
shall cheerfully tell my tame story. If it does nothing else, it may
serve to encourage some other toiler who is struggling along in the
weary pathway I once followed to success.
