About this ebook
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.
About the author
Née à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard en 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery, comme plusieurs de ses héroïnes, s'est retrouvée orpheline très tôt. Élevée par ses grands-parents, elle a vécu une enfance difficile. Rêvant de devenir écrivaine, Lucy Maud a commencé à écrire à l'âge de neuf ans en tenant son journal intime dans la petite ville de Cavendish, qui ressemble à s'y méprendre au village d'Avonlea où se déroule l'histoire de sa célèbre Anne. Elle a tour à tour été institutrice et journaliste avant de devenir romancière et finalement l'une des auteures canadiennes les plus connues dans le monde.
