Back Cover Text
“Trees are like children,” said Mrs. Lynde. “It’s dreadful the way they grow up the minute you turn your back on them.”
Anne, the delightful child heroine of Anne of Green Gables, has indeed grown up in Anne’s House of Dreams, though her youthful vitality and high spirits are still with her. New friends, such as crusty old Captain Jim and the mysterious Leslie Moore, surround Anne and her young husband, Dr. Gilbert Blythe, as they embark on an eventful life at Four Winds Harbour.
Lucy Maud Montgomery’s fascinating accounts of the lives and romances of Anne, Emily, and other well-loved characters have achieved long-lasting popularity the world over. Born in 1874 in Prince Edward Island, Lucy Maud showed an early flair for story-telling. She soon began to have her writing published in papers and magazines, and when she died in Toronto in 1942 she had written more than twenty novels and a large number of short stories. Most of her books are set in Prince Edward Island, which she loved very much and wrote of most beautifully. Anne of Green Gables, her most popular work, has been translated into thirty-six languages, made into a film twice, and has had continuing success as a stage play. Lucy Maud Montgomery’s early home at Cavendish, P.E.I., where she is buried, is a much-visited historic site.
