Features: A classic Canadian coming-of-age novel in the Emily series. A sister series to Anne of Green Gables, it has been a bestseller in the West for nearly a century. The author's novel was selected for the "Top 100 Favorite Works of British People" in the 200th year. A classic coming-of-age gift for girls, daughters, female students, and girlfriends, popular in the West and Japan. Prince Edward Island, a world-famous tourist destination, is the author's birthplace and the setting of the novel, one of the 50 places one must visit in a lifetime. In the blink of an eye, the little girl from Maybelle's Woods has grown into a tall teenager at New Moon Farm. Emily is going to Shrewsbury High School with her good friends. Boarding with her not-so-friendly Aunt Rose, "thousands of tiny pricks" cannot dampen her passion and enthusiasm for life. She wanders through the morning mist, through the old orchard, the fir forest, the lakeside, and the graveyard, listening to the voice of dreams and savoring the faint yet tender feelings. With a natural love for writing, she enjoys the joy of expression and endures countless rejections. Through self-discipline, perseverance, and introspection, the spirited girl's body and mind bloom like a rose.
