Author's Name: Lucy Maud Montgomery

If Lucy Maud Montgomery hadn't yielded to her first publisher's wishes and published Anne of the Island, her third novel in the Anne of Green Grove series, seven years later, she would have deprived all the youth of the world of the pleasure of following the story of the red-haired orphan heroine, with whom we became so passionate about in the first and second parts. Here is Anne growing in maturity, leaving her island for a distant city to study at university, and fulfilling an old dream that readers of every generation have shared with her. She leaves behind the warmth of family, her childhood home, her childhood friends, and the early years of passion, panting after knowledge and learning, and taking her first steps in the world of writing and creativity without her heart neglecting for a single moment the vicissitudes of love and passion.
