Anne of Windy Willows finds her teaching amid small-town gossip. Anne's House of Dreams turns to her early married life, and Anne of Ingleside follows her as a busy mother of six.

About the Author
L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author born in Clifton (now New London), Prince Edward Island, the setting that inspired her most famous work. Raised largely by her grandparents after her mother's early death, Montgomery drew on her rural upbringing to create the world of Avonlea. She published Anne of Green Gables in 1908 to immediate acclaim, eventually writing eight novels following Anne Shirley's life alongside many other novels, short stories, and poems. Montgomery's writing remains celebrated for its wit and vivid depiction of Prince Edward Island, cementing her legacy as one of Canada's most beloved authors.
