Lucy Maud Montgomery and Anne

"Anne of Green Gables" was published in 1908 and is the story of a orphaned girl sent to live on Prince Edward Island. The book and its several sequels enjoy international readership and inspired a successful television series, “Road to Avonlea”. The popularity of the Anne character has had a significant influence on the tourism trade in PEI.
