A lost classic by the author of Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon is a coming-of-age story about newly orphaned Emily Byrd Starr, who deals with the loss of her beloved father as she tries to adjust to life at old-fashioned New Moon farm with her aunts and cousin. Emily, a budding writer with a mysterious sense of the otherworldly, makes quick friends in her new home and lands in more than her share of scrapes along the way. But she remains haunted by one thing: the scandalous mystery of what happened to her best friend's mother. Will Emily thrive under the austere rule of her Aunt Elizabeth? What will happen when she visits her notorious Great-Aunt, Nancy Priest-rumored to be a witch? And will she learn what happened to the missing Beatrice Burnley-and at what cost? With a new foreword by esteemed scholar Dr. E. Holly Pike, an expert with regard to L.M. Montgomery's career and works, this new edition will delight fans of all ages and introduce them to a heroine that the author felt closer to than her most famous character, Anne of Green Gables.

Autorenporträt
Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874 - 1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, a province of Canada. Young Maud went to live with her maternal grandparents, a stern Presbyterian couple whose rambling farm was the inspiration for "Green Gables." Although trained as a teacher, she became known for a series of young adult novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, first published in 1908. Frank Holtzer has been called "an international adventurer." As an experienced journalist, he's covered poverty in Port-au-Prince, Oktoberfest beer bashes in Munich, the swinging Carnaby Street scene in London, independence in the Bahamas, and the drug trade in Mexico. He's known for his erotic short stories.
