You
will also find items that are exclusive to Balas Museum. Lucy
Maud Montgomery and Bala: A Love Story of the North Woods Our
book was written to answer many unanswered questions about "The Blue Castle".
Why did Maud and her family choose Bala for a holiday in 1922? What inspired her
to write "The Blue Castle"? Why did she choose an unlikely name like
Valancy for her heroine? How many people in Bala knew in the summer of 1922 that
a famous Canadian author was holidaying in their midst? Our book also tells the
story of our little museum, which we like to think has its own love story. But
we dont want to give away surprises. Youll have to read the book for
yourself.
Available
at $20 plus shipping to your address. LMM
Commemorative Plate and Mug We
take great pride in continuing to offer the only commemorative items that were
created in 1999 for the 125th anniversary of L.M. Montgomerys birth.
The
plates are a numbered limited edition, designed by Linda Jackson-Hutton and licensed
by the Heirs of L.M. Montgomery. They are packaged in a way that allows them to
be shipped safely to any part of the world without fear of damage. We
are not aware of any other commemorative item that has ever been created in L.M.
Montgomerys memory. Hundreds perhaps thousands of items celebrate
Anne, LMMs famous literary creation, but we dont know of even one
for the author herself. So this may be a first. If so, we are proud that Balas
Museum with Memories of Lucy Maud Montgomery did it. Commemorative
plates available at $29.95 plus shipping. Ontario buyers should add the PST tax. Matching
mugs available at $10.95 each, plus shipping and PST (for Ontario). NOTE:
"L.M. Montgomery" is a trademark of the Heirs of L.M. Montgomery Inc.,
