L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, off the east coast of Canada. She spent her childhood there, living with her grandparents after the death of her mother. Many scenes in Anne of Green Gables are drawn from her happy memories of the island and the farmhouse where she was brought up. The Anne of Green Gables series eventually grew to eight books-all of which are still in print throughout the world.

Anne, an 11-year-old orphan, is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother and sister on a Prince Edward Island farm and proceeds to make an indelible impression on everyone around her. A Reader's Catalog selection. 288pp. Hardcover.
