Today’s Book Blogger Hop question is: If you went trick-or-treating with your favorite book characters, who would it be?
Well, since I haven’t been trick-or-treating in about twenty years, I’m going to assume that this question also includes an appropriate age adjustment in the imaginary scenario, and go from there! With that, I would definitely have to say that pretty much any of L. M. Montgomery’s characters would be brilliant to trick-or-treat with.
I can’t think that any of them ever did in any of her books (maybe it wasn’t so much a Canadian thing? A time period thing? Or it just didn’t make much sense in a rural community with widely-spread farmhouses?) but if we also assume a world where that’s happening and the geography makes sense…I feel pretty sure that her heroines, particularly Anne and Emily, would spend weeks before Halloween coming up with and creating elaborate home-made costumes, probably based on literary or historical characters, and then get very into the role-playing on Halloween night. And that sounds like quite a lot of fun!
Who would you choose to trick-or-treat with? Does it make a lot of sense, or do you have to make some assumptions? 😉
I’d love to go with Emily (I have a feeling the Wind Woman would come along). But would Aunt Elizabeth consider trick-or-treating a “Murray tradition”? 🎃
