Happy 100th Birthday to Anne of Green Gables!
L.M. Montgomery first published this classic story in 1908. She actually wrote it in 1905, but couldn't get it published. After tucking it away in a hatbox for a few years she found success on her second try and it was an instant bestseller. Much of Montgomery's childhood and adult life is reflected in the Anne stories and her depiction of Prince Edward Island brings the beauty and history of the island to life.
