Jane of Lantern Hill

297 pp. "Jane Stuart is a high-spirited young girl, living in grandeur, but sternly repressed by her wealthy old grandmother - until she escapes to the island and her adventures on Lantern Hill. Imagine meeting a father one has not seen since babyhood and finding him charming and understanding! A bright new world is opened to Jane, and in her escapades with the Island children... she learns that life can be very exciting indeed... A pleasing romance runs through the story." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Lucy Maud Montgomery CBE (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), called "Maud" by family and friends and publicly known as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 500 short stories and poems. Because many of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, Canada and the Canadian province became literary landmarks. Montgomery's work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide."
