A sweet and moving romance from the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series!
Eric Marshall, recent college graduate, has the world at his feet. He’s handsome, popular, wealthy, and surprisingly, single. Living the bachelor lifestyle with his widowed father, he’s never given much thought to romance. When an old school friend asks Eric to substitute teach for him on Prince Edward Island while he recuperates from an illness, Eric thinks, why not? He’s got some time to kill before diving into the family business with his father, and the rustic island may be a good diversion for him.
Eric falls into the easy routine of island life, and his status as eligible bachelor endears him to the locals. Eric is still not thinking of romance, but he’s about to find it in a most unexpected place…
Kilmeny Gordon is sweet and smart and beautiful, perfect in every way but one: she can’t speak. She’s been sheltered all her life due to her disability and the scandal surrounding her birth. She wiles away her hours helping her aunt and uncle on the farm and playing her violin in her favorite secluded spot. When Eric stumbles into her hidden orchard, he brings a whole new world with him, and a friendship that both frightens her and thrills her. As the summer days grow longer and their friendship blossoms, sweet, silent Kilmeny, with her sunny enthusiasm and haunting music, manages to do what neither the co-eds of Queenslea College nor the village lasses of Lindsay have been able to do—capture Eric’s heart.
But Kilmeny knows he’ll soon have to go back to his life on the mainland, a world of business meetings and parties and prejudicial people—a world in which she’ll hold him back and never fit in. None of that matters to Eric, but how can he get her to accept that she’s the only woman he’ll ever love, when she is convinced that the only way to love him is to let him go?

The Complete Emily Starr Trilogy: Emily of New Moon / Emily Climbs . Emily's Quest
L.M. Montgomery
This carefully crafted ebook: “The Complete Emily Starr Trilogy: Emily of New Moon + Emily Climbs + Emily's Quest (Unabridged)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, created another and better-known representative of Canadian girlhood in "Anne of Green Gables" and all the subsequent Anne books, but Emily was closer to her own heart. Like Anne, Emily is a strong-minded, gifted, imaginative child, left alone and unprotected in a harsh world, who is taken in by adults who are at least initially cold and unloving. Both girls grow up amid the beauties of Prince Edward Island, both keenly sensitive to natural splendors and highly fanciful, not to say occasionally precious, about assigning names to lakes and trees and identifying spirits and fairies in their surroundings. Anne is an original and spunky girl, with a certain amount of talent for writing verses and romantic tales, but Emily is a writer.In the celebrated Emily trilogy, of which Emily of New Moon is the first volume, Montgomery draws a more realistic portrait of a young girl’s life on Prince Edward Island. The twin threads of bright and dark, love and cruelty, hope and despair intertwine in a pattern as significant as it is enduring.In the second volume, Emily Climbs, Lucy Maud Montgomery traces the often stormy course of Emily Starr’s life as she moves from the world of childhood into that of school and adolescence.Emily's Quest is the last of the Emily trilogy. After finishing Emily Climbs, Montgomery suspended writing Emily's Quest and published The Blue Castle; she resumed writing and published in 1927.Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874 – 1942), was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays.

Anne d'Avonlea
L.M. Montgomery
« Ceux qui connaissaient Anne le mieux sentaient, sans vraiment réaliser qu’ils le sentaient, que son pouvoir d’attraction tenait à l’impression de promesse qui se dégageait d’elle – une capacité à s’accomplir dans le futur. Elle paraissait évoluer dans une atmosphère d’événements imminents. » — Anne d’Avonlea
« Pourquoi se sent-on pousser des tresses virevoltantes à la lecture de ce roman d’un autre âge ? D’où vient cette béatitude tenace qui nous lisse le visage ? Du style allègre, plein de piquant et de drôlerie, de son autrice. » — Télérama
« Magnifiquement écrit et retraduit, le chef-d’œuvre de Lucy Maud Montgomery, fait toujours autant vibrer. Une pépite intemporelle. » — Elle

Anne de Windy Willows (Anne of Green Gables, #4)
L.M. Montgomery
Ses brillantes études universitaires terminées, Anne Shirley se voit confier la direction du lycée de Summerside, une petite bourgade de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, d’apparence paisible, mais qui va lui réserver bien des surprises. À ses côtés, nous allons découvrir Windy Willows, la pension où elle va vivre pendant trois ans – ainsi que ses occupantes –, la petite Elizabeth, sa féerique voisine, Katherine Brooke, sa collègue désabusée, et ses élèves, qu’ils soient touchants ou tout à fait exaspérants. Avec un humour toujours plus fin, des envolées lyriques et nostalgiques, Anne de Windy Willows offre le portrait d’une jeune femme tout en nuances : généreuse et directe, fiancée, oui, mais surtout indépendante. Anne de Windy Willows est une étape cruciale dans la vie d’Anne Shirley. Livrée à elle-même dans une ville où elle ne connaît personne, Anne est loin des nids douillets entourés d’âmes soeurs qu’étaient Green Gables et Kingsport. Néanmoins, avec son esprit toujours aussi romantique, espiègle – parfois même piquant ! – et bienveillant, elle sait aimer et se faire aimer, appréhender les situations les plus cocasses et les sublimer. C’est dans un style toujours maîtrisé, entre narration classique et roman épistolaire, parcouru de drôlerie, de nostalgie et de cette poésie qu’elle manie si bien, que Lucy Maud Montgomery nous offre un regard inédit et plus intime que jamais sur l’univers d’Anne Shirley.

Anne auf Green Gables / Auf dem Weg ins Glück
L.M. Montgomery
Den Beginn ihres Studiums in Kingsport hat sich Anne Shirley anders vorgestellt! Zum Glück hat sie ihre alten Schulfreunde Gilbert und Priscilla, die ihr über das erste Heimweh hinweghelfen.

The Blythes Are Quoted (Anne of Green Gables, #9)
L.M. Montgomery
The Blythes Are Quoted is the last work of fiction by the internationally celebrated author of Anne of Green Gables. Intended by L.M. Montgomery to be the ninth volume in her bestselling series featuring her beloved heroine Anne – and delivered to her publisher on the very day she died – it has never before been published in its entirety. This rediscovered volume marks the final word of a writer whose work continues to fascinate readers all over the world.
Adultery, illegitimacy, revenge, murder, and death – these are not the first terms we associate with L.M. Montgomery. But in The Blythes Are Quoted, completed at the end of her life,the author brings topics such as these to the fore.
Intended by Montgomery to be the ninth volume in her bestselling series featuring Anne Shirley Blythe, The Blythes Are Quoted takes Anne and her family a full two decades beyond anything else she published about them, and some of its subject matter is darker than we might expect.
Divided into two sections, one set before and one after the Great War of 1914–1918, it contains fifteen short stories set in and around the Blythes’ Prince Edward Island community of Glen St. Mary. Binding these stories are sketches featuring Anne and Gilbert Blythe discussing poems by Anne and their middle son, Walter, who dies as a soldier in the war. By blending together poetry, prose, and dialogue in this way, Montgomery was at the end of her career experimenting with storytelling methods in an entirely new manner.
This publication of Montgomery's rediscovered original work – previously published only in severely abridged form as The Road to Yesterday – invites readers to return to her earlier books with a renewed appreciation and perspective.

Afortunadamente, en ocasiones, para escapar de su monótona existencia, la desdichada Valancy se refugia en el castillo de sus sueños, su Castillo Azul, imaginándose como una hermosa dama muy querida y admirada, y feliz esposa de un romántico caballero.

«Bentornata, Anne, sei un po' più cresciuta, ma rimani ancora la nostra vecchia, zelante, impulsiva, fantasiosa Anne», così il poeta americano Edwin Markham salutò sul New York American il ritorno di Anne Shirley, che è diventata non solo una valente insegnante di scuola, ma anche un'impegnata fondatrice dell'Associazione per il Miglioramento di Avonlea, ed è circondata da uno stuolo di nuovi personaggi destinati, insieme a quelli già noti, a rimanere nella memoria dei lettori molto a lungo. La presente edizione di "Anne di Avonlea", curata da Enrico De Luca, propone una traduzione integrale e annotata del secondo romanzo della saga di Anne - composta da undici titoli (nove romanzi e due raccolte di racconti) che coprono quasi l'intera vita della protagonista -, che riscosse un unanime successo al suo primo apparire nel 1909.

White Magic
L.M. Montgomery
Avery Sparhallow was conceded to be a beauty, and had no rival in Burnley Beach. She was very pretty, with the obvious, indisputable prettiness of rich black hair, vivid, certain colour, and laughing, brilliant eyes. Nobody ever called Janet a beauty, or even thought her pretty. She was only seventeen—five years younger than Avery—and was rather lanky and weedy, with a rope of straight dark-brown hair, long, narrow, shining brown eyes and very black lashes, and a crooked, clever little mouth. She had visitations of beauty when excited, because then she flushed deeply, and colour made all the difference in the world to her; but she had never happened to look in the glass when excited, so that she had never seen herself beautiful; and hardly anybody else had ever seen her so, because she was always too shy and awkward and tongue-tied in company to feel excited over anything.

Chronicles of Avonlea (Chronicles of Avonlea, #1)
L.M. Montgomery
On Prince Edward Island, where Anne Shirley grew up in the sea-sprayed town of Avonlea, there was no shortage of wonderful stories. There was the case of Ludovic Speed, who wouldn't propose to the woman he had courted for fifteen years until Anne devised a plan to "speed" him up . . . if it didn't backfire and break his heart. But no one could blame mischievous Anne for the hilarious battle of the sexes that erupted when a man-hating woman and her cat got quarantined in the same house with a woman-hating bachelor and his dog. From sprawling Penhallow Grange, where a family waits nearly forever for two quarreling lovers to break their stubborn silence, to the tumbledown farm of Old Man Shaw, who awaits the retum of his beloved daughter, L. M. Montgomery has written twelve tales of secret hopes and hidden dreams, filled with enchantment and humor.
The Road to Yesterday (Anne of Green Gables)

For Anne and Gilbert Blythe, life in a small village is never dull because of all the entertaining gossip, and what strange and funny tales they hear: about the mischievous twins whose dearest wish comes true when they meet up with a bored and haunted millionaire; or clever Penelope Craig, who considers herself an expert on children -- until she adopts a boy of her own; or Timothy Randebush, a man so eager to keep his brother out of the clutches of a dangerous woman that he spirits her away -- only to fall prey to her charms himself. Filled with unexpected surprises, laughter, and tears, here are fourteen of the Blythes' favorite tales.

Anna di Avonlea (Anna dai capelli rossi, #2)
L.M. Montgomery
Anna Shirley, la piccola orfana adottata dai Cuthbert, è ormai cresciuta ed è diventata maestra. Oltre a sperimentare metodi di insegnamento innovativi, la ragazza si impegna con entusiasmo per animare la vita della piccola comunità di Avonlea. Passano così due anni e il progetto di proseguire gli studi all'università sembra rimanere solo un sogno. Ma un giorno accade qualcosa che cambierà il corso degli eventi...
"L'Anna che si incamminò lungo il vialetto buio quella sera non era la stessa Anna che l'aveva percorso allegramente in senso inverso solo il giorno prima. Una mano invisibile aveva voltato la pagina della sua fanciullezza e di fronte a lei adesso c'era quella che doveva contenere la sua storia di donna adulta, piena di fascino e mistero, di dolori e di gioie".
Anna dei Pioppi Fruscianti (Anna dai Capelli Rossi, #4)

Nel frattempo Anna ha accettato l'incarico di preside al liceo di Summerside. E in questi tre anni ne vedrà delle belle. Dovrà affrontare un nuovo ambiente, nuovi personaggi e nuove situazioni. Tra lettere d'amore, fidanzate incomprese, alunni dispettosi e amici bislacchi, Anna riuscirà ancora una volta a districarsi... da un mare di guai.

Anna ha finalmente coronato il suo sogno e si è iscritta all’Università di Redmond.

La loro storia sembra già scritta, ma la vita di Anna è una continua girandola di sorprese, dove nulla va mai come ci si aspetta. E se la persona giusta per lei non fosse Gilbert Blythe? “Anna rise e sospirò. Si sentiva grande ormai, saggia e matura, ma proprio da questo si capiva quanto fosse ancora giovane”.
Rilla di Ingleside (Anna dai Capelli Rossi Vol. 8)
L.M. Montgomery
Rilla è la più piccola dei figli di Anna e Gilbert. Ha (quasi) quindici anni, è viziata, carina e vivace, ha solo voglia di divertirsi, di “divorare la vita”, come dice lei. I suoi unici pensieri? I ragazzi (uno in particolare), le feste, i bei vestiti... ma è il 1914 e certe notizie che arrivano dall'Europa non sono così distanti e irrilevanti come crede. Lo scoppio della Grande Guerra arriva improvviso a sconvolgere la vita di tutti, e anche la sua. I fratelli, gli amici, anche il ragazzo dei sogni, partono per il fronte... forse per non tornare mai più. Il suo mondo luminoso e bello va in frantumi. Sono tante le cose che non aveva mai fatto, che non si sarebbe mai neppure sognata di fare, che adesso vanno imparate e fatte. C'è un bimbo piccolissimo, orfano di guerra, di cui prendersi cura. C'è un cane fedele in attesa del padrone che chissà quando, e se, ritornerà, per cui preoccuparsi. Ci sono nuove scelte da fare e responsabilità da assumersi. Perché solo così sarà possibile crescere. Solo così si potrà mantenere la parola data a chi non tornerà più. Solo così si potrà costruire un nuovo mondo libero dalle paure.

This heartwarming story has beckoned generations of readers into the special world of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea. Anne Shirley, an eleven-year-old orphan, has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthberts—elderly Matthew and his stern sister, Marilla—want to adopt a boy, not a feisty redheaded girl. But before they can send her back, Anne—who simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real home—wins them over completely. A much-loved classic that explores all the vulnerability, expectations, and dreams of a child growing up, Anne of Green Gables is also a wonderful portrait of a time, a place, a family… and, most of all, love.

Anne z Zielonych Szczytów (Anne z Zielonych Szczytów, #1)
L.M. Montgomery
Jedna z najpopularniejszych powieści wszech czasów w nowym – najbliższym oryginałowi – tłumaczeniu.
Jedenastoletnia Anne Shirley opuszcza sierociniec i wyrusza do wymarzonego domu. Kiedy dociera do Avonlea, okazuje się jednak, że zaszła pomyłka – Marilla Cuthbert i jej brat Matthew zamierzali adoptować chłopca do pomocy w gospodarstwie. Marilla początkowo chce odesłać dziewczynkę, ale gadatliwa, obdarzona bujną wyobraźnią Anne szybko zaskarbia sobie sympatię mrukliwego Matthew i ostatecznie zostaje w ich domu. Choć dziewczyna wykazuje niezwykły talent do pakowania się w tarapaty – farbuje włosy na zielono, najlepszej przyjaciółce podaje wino porzeczkowe zamiast soku, a do tortu w miejsce wanilii dolewa anodyny – to już wkrótce Cuthbertowie nie będą w stanie wyobrazić sobie bez niej życia.
Przygody rudowłosej Anne Shirley od lat wzruszają i bawią. Powieść Lucy Maud Montgomery to pełna ciepłego humoru opowieść o dorastaniu, przyjaźni i miłości, która urzekła miliony czytelniczek na całym świecie, między innymi Arethę Franklin, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro czy księżną Kate.
"Oddając Czytelniczkom i Czytelnikom nowy przekład jednej z najbardziej kultowych powieści, jestem świadoma "zdrady" popełnianej wobec pokolenia ich matek i babć, do których zresztą zaliczam też siebie. Tak jest – razem z wydawcą tego przekładu doszliśmy do wniosku, że w czasach, kiedy wszystkie dzieci wiedzą, że żadna mała Kanadyjka nie ma na imię Ania, Janka czy Zosia, a żaden Kanadyjczyk nie nazywa się Mateusz czy Karolek, pora przywrócić wszystkim, nie tylko wybranym (jak w poprzednich przekładach), bohaterkom i bohaterom książki ich prawdziwe imiona, nazwom geograficznym na Wyspie Księcia Edwarda zaś ich oryginalne brzmienie. Podejmując się kolejnego przekładu (a w ostatnich latach nastąpił prawdziwy ich wysyp), postawiłam sobie za cel jak najściślejszą wierność wobec oryginału i realiów życia w wiosce Avonlea, która chociaż fikcyjna, miała jednak swój pierwowzór w prawdziwej miejscowości Cavendish. [...] Podsumowując, przyznaję się do winy: zabiłam Anię, zburzyłam Zielone Wzgórze i pozbawiłam je pokoiku na facjatce. Proszę jednak o łagodny wymiar kary, zważywszy na to, że ktoś kiedyś musiał się podjąć tego niewdzięcznego zadania." - Ze wstępu tłumaczki

Wymarzony dom Anne (Anne z Zielonych Szczytów, #5)
L.M. Montgomery
Po latach Anne Shirley w końcu poślubia swojego ukochanego, doktora Gilberta Blythe'a. Państwo młodzi nie byliby sobą, gdyby nie znaleźli urokliwego miejsca, w którym mogliby rozpocząć wspólne życie! Przeprowadzają się nad zatokę Four Winds, gdzie Gilbert przejmuje praktykę lekarską po wuju, i zamieszkują w wymarzonym domu. Z jego okien widać światło latarni, które o zmierzchu rozbłyska niczym najwspanialsza gwiazda. Latarnik, kapitan Jim, zna historię całej okolicy – także romantyczną przeszłość domu Blythe’ów – i spisuje ją w swoim dzienniku.
Anne szybko udaje się nawiązać przyjaźnie w nowym miejscu. Bardzo polubiła Leslie Moore – młodą sąsiadkę, która opiekuje się ciężko chorym mężem – ale czuje, że istnieje między nimi dystans. Czyżby dotknięta niejedną rodzinną tragedią Leslie zazdrościła Blythe’om ich idealnego życia? Czy naprawdę Anne musi sama doświadczyć nieszczęścia i straty, by kobiety się do siebie zbliżyły?
Anne z Szumiących Wierzb (Anne z Zielonych Szczytów, #4)
L.M. Montgomery
Czwarta część przygód rusowłosej Anne Shirley w nowym – najbliższym oryginałowi – tłumaczeniu Anny Bańkowskiej.
Po ukończeniu studiów w Redmond College Anne otrzymuje stanowisko dyrektorki liceum w Summerside. Ma jednak problem ze znalezieniem w miasteczku lokum. Pani Tomowa Pringle, która od piętnastu lat wynajmowała pokój kolejnym dyrektorom szkoły, z nieznanych powodów zdecydowała, że jej nie przyjmie. Anne udaje się w końcu wynająć pokój na wieży w domu o nazwie Szumiące Wierzby, gdzie mieszkają dwie wdowy oraz Rebecca Dew, i zakochuje się w nim od pierwszego wejrzenia.
Anne nawiązuje nowe przyjaźnie, lecz musi się też mierzyć z wrogością wpływowego w Summerside klanu Pringle'ów. To horror dla osoby, która nie znosi być nielubiana! Co więcej, wielu jej uczniów to potomkowie tej rodziny – oni także sprawiają jej problemy. Czy Anne uda się przedrzeć przez mur niechęci i zdyscyplinować podopiecznych? Całe szczęście, że może wyżalić się w listach swojemu narzeczonemu Gilbertowi!
Anne z Redmondu (Anne z Zielonych Szczytów, #3)
L.M. Montgomery
Trzeci tom przygód rudowłosej Anne Shirley w znakomitym przekładzie Anny Bańkowskiej.
Anne ma już osiemnaście lat. W końcu zostawia za sobą rodzinny dom – a w nim Marillę oraz bliźnięta, Dorę i Davy'ego – i wyjeżdża na studia w Redmond College. Wpada w wir nauki, ale ciężka praca nie uchroni jej przed niespodziewanymi zdarzeniami. W ciągu tych czterech lat czeka ją mnóstwo wyzwań: nowe przyjaźnie, spośród których najważniejsza okazuje się ta z Philippą, walka o stypendium Thornburna czy pierwsze próby literackie. Pojawia się także nowy adorator, Roy Gardner, mężczyzna jak żywcem wyjęty z romantycznych marzeń Anne. Znajomość coraz bardziej się zacieśnia, lecz gdzie w tym wszystkim jest miejsce dla Gilberta... ?
Droga do dorosłości potrafi być niezwykłą próbą sił. Na szczęście Anne nie opuszcza poczucie humoru, bogata wyobraźnia i odrobina szaleństwa.
Powieść ukazała się w 1915 roku – na ten tom czytelnicy musieli czekać aż pięć lat od wydania Anne z Avonlea, spotkała się jednak ze znakomitym przyjęciem.

Bohaterkę również irytuje to, że Gilbert pragnie czegoś więcej niż przyjaźni…
Zmiany, zmiany, zmiany – wokół tego pojęcia toczy się akcja książki.
