Anne's House of Dreams' is book five in the 'Anne of Green Gables'
series. It chronicles Anne's early married life, as she and her
childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe begin to build their life together.
In Four Winds, Anne and Gilbert meet many interesting people, such as
Captain Jim, a former sailor who is now the keeper of the lighthouse,
and Miss Cornelia Bryant, an unmarried woman in her 40's who lives alone
in an emerald-green house. This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was
originally published in 1917 and we are now republishing it with a brand
new introductory biography. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th
November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward
Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached
the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a
family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her
first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an
instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery
became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household
name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.
