Anne of the Island




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

A new adventure awaits as Anne Shirley packs her bags, says goodbye to childhood, and heads off to Redmond College. With memories of her beloved Avonlea close to her heart, Anne dives into life in the bustling city of Kingsport. Surrounded by new and old friends, she embraces this exciting chapter.

From navigating tricky romances and celebrating her first successes as a writer, to facing the tough lessons of growing up and dealing with quirky cottages and their ornery black cats, Anne is determined to live life to the fullest—and on her own terms. But maybe she hasn’t left all of her past behind, especially when the charming Gilbert Blythe seems to have plans for her heart. Now, older and a bit wiser, Anne must decide if she’s ready for love and everything that comes with it.

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

L. M. Montgomery

L. M. Montgomery, known as Maud, was born on Prince Edward Island, off the coast of Canada, in 1874. Maud’s mother died when she was just a baby and so she had a rather unhappy childhood growing up in the care of her strict grandparents. She was just sixteen when she had her first poem published. As a young woman she worked as a teacher and although she didn’t enjoy it much it gave her lots of time to write. Maud wrote hundred of short stories, poems and novels throughout her life but it was the hugely popular Anne of Green Gables and its sequels that made her famous. She died in 1942.
