About the book
Emily of New Moon, a 1923 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, opens a series about Emily Byrd Starr, a young Canadian girl who loses her father to tuberculosis. Her relatives take her in, and she is sent to New Moon Farm in the rural community of Blair Water, Prince Edward Island, where her aunts Elizabeth and Laura and Cousin Jimmy live. Emily is born to write, yet strict Aunt Elizabeth does not understand this urge. She befriends Ilse, Teddy and Perry, three children who each have their own talents and family troubles.
