Montgomery's lack of interest in her later "Anne" books may very well be true.

However, it's not exactly fair to Montgomery to portray her as a victim of some 'greedy' publishers. If Montgomery chose to exploit her creation for financial gain, there's nothing wrong with that - the woman's got to live, doesn't she. At worst, we can say that her later "Anne" books had less artistic merit than her earlier ones. It's not a crime or tragedy.
