After being assigned the task to make a blog on the internet I must admit that I was not so thrilled, but I realized that it is a great way to get your opinion out about certain things on your mind which the whole world can tap into, so welcome to my blog!

The purpose of this blog is to get information out about great Canadian authors, like Helen Humphreys. I thought that Helen was a great candidate for my blog because I realized that she is almost impossible to find on the internet. Sure there are some reviews about her great books, but no more than a couple of sentences written about her life. After digging deeper into the internet information I found out that her books were more than just fiction and that one of them was like an autobiography of her life. The book 'The Lost Garden' written by Helen is the book that she says she wrote to ressemble things in her life that had happened, which is the book that I enjoyed reading by her. I thought it was neat to know that the 'lost garden' was something that her grandfather had actually found when he was living on an estate in his earlier days and that he actually took the time to restore it, just like Gwen, the main character, did in the book. Another character, Jane, in the book had a husband who was missing in action, which Helen was reffering to as her other grandfather that had dissaperared in 1941 and was never to see again. I think that little things like these are what makes the book interesting, the fact that you can acutally imagine these things in the book happening to real people.

Hopefully my blog has inspired someone to pick up the book "The Lost Garden" by Helen Humphreys as she is a great Canadian author and should be recognized as one as well. If not, than I hope you enjoyed reading about her book, and welcome again to my blog!
