About this title

Synopsis

Read the timeless classic about the fiery orphan Anne Shirley, now a school principal, behind the hit Netflix series Anne with an E—now celebrating a hundred years of this children’s favorite.

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind and is ready to start a new job and a new chapter of her life, far from Green Gables. But she’s about to face a big challenge: the Pringles. Known as the royal family of Summerside, they quickly make it clear that Anne is not who they wanted as the principal of Summerside High School. But Anne isn’t one to back down from a challenge.

Determined to make Summerside her home, Anne settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars. There, she finds great allies in the widows Aunt Kate, Aunt Chatty, and their lively housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne uncovers Summerside’s strangest secrets, winning over the prickly Pringles becomes just the first of her many triumphs.

This special Collector’s Edition includes the original, unabridged text, a specially commissioned biography of L.M. Montgomery, and a map of Prince Edward Island.

About the Author

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, and raised by her grandparents in nearby Cavendish, where the Island's landscapes, books, and her vivid imagination inspired a lifetime of storytelling. Educated at Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown and Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she taught school before caring for her grandmother in Cavendish from 1898 to 1911 while publishing poems and stories in Canadian and American magazines. Her first novel, Anne of Green Gables, became an immediate success, followed by seven Anne novels as well as beloved classics including Emily of New Moon and Pat of Silver Bush. L. M. Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942, but it is her early years on lush green Prince Edward Island that live on in the delightful adventures of the impetuous redhead, the stories Mark Twain called “the sweetest creation of child life yet written."
