Emily Climbs

Emily Climbs is L.M. Montgomery’s fourteenth book, first published in September 1925 by McClelland and Stewart (Toronto) and the Frederick A. Stokes Company (New York). It is the second of three books to feature Montgomery’s protagonist Emily Byrd Starr, preceded by Emily of New Moon (1923) and followed by Emily’s Quest (1927). Prior to the publication of Emily’s Quest, however, she published The Blue Castle (1926).

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.
