| Lucy Maud Montgomery's Favourite Places |
| Deirdre Kessler Photographs by Martin Caird |
The landscape of Prince Edward Island set Lucy
Maud Montgomery's imagination on fire. This book
explores the places where she grew up and shares the
settings of her most famous works of fiction.
Green Gables, once the home of Montgomery's
cousins, is now furnished and decorated based on
descriptions in her most famous novel, Anne of Green
Gables. Nearby is the author's childhood home - her
grandparents' farm - and at New London, her lovingly
preserved birthplace. At Park Corner, visitors can
enjoy one of her favourite places - Silver Bush, the
home of her Campbell cousins.
This book offers beautiful contemporary photographs
and historical images of the sites. Author Deirdre
Kessler provides detailed background on these
places, putting them in the context of rural life on
Prince Edward Island a century ago. There is also a
biography of Montgomery, and a sketch of her
professional life as a writer.
