Description

L. M. Montgomery's beautiful Island scrapbooks, covering a period from 1893 to mid-1910, are finally back in print. Reflecting Montgomery's youth and optimism, these full-colour pages are filled with meaningful insight into the life of a young writer's inspiration during the period when she would create the beloved character of Anne Shirley, who would win the hearts of readers worldwide with the publication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908.

With annotations and notes from Montgomery scholar Elizabeth Epperly, Imagining Anne allows fans a revealing look inside the mind of one of the most cherished writers of the twentieth century.

Editorial Reviews

"Imagining Anne provides thirsty Montgomery fans with yet more information about their beloved Canadian author and will also engage scrapbookers curious about early examples of their craft. Although readers 10 and up may find the pictures interesting, the book will be best appreciated by older readers who already know something about Maud's life and work." —Canadian Review of Materials (Winnipeg, MB)
