About Emily of New Moon
Emily of New Moon is the first of three books to feature Montgomery’s protagonist Emily Byrd Starr, followed by Emily Climbs (1925) and Emily’s Quest (1927). It was preceded by Rilla of Ingleside (1921), which Montgomery had vowed to be the last of the Anne books.
A television series based on Emily of New Moon and its sequels, starring Martha MacIsaac, Stephen McHattie, and Sheila McCarthy, was filmed in Prince Edward Island and aired between 1998 and 1999 and between 2002 and 2003.
