I remember enjoying the online version of this - particularly the clarification of the literary references I couldn't remember but recognised! - and I came to that because Anne's sister Sally was kind enough to let me spend an afternoon sitting on her deck reading some books, and Anne was kind enough to let one of the books I read be her copy of Run Away Home - the first time I'd ever seen the book let alone read it!

I wasn't crazy about the cover of the GGB edition, although I "got" all the references, but I'm so thrilled to have it as a Proper Book for dipping in to at my leisure and convenience, that I gloss over the cover!

I too am looking forward to Sue Sims' biography, and no, GGB didn't edit out biographical stuff in TMATM, what I remember being there is still there.
