Emily of New Moon
Emily of New Moon, published in 1923, began the second of L. M. Montgomery's series and is the one she said came closest to her own childhood. When her father dies, eleven-year-old Emily Byrd Starr is taken in by her mother's proud family, the Murrays of New Moon farm on Prince Edward Island, under the stern Aunt Elizabeth, the gentle Aunt Laura and the odd, kindly Cousin Jimmy. She finds friends in the wild Ilse Burnley, the artist Teddy Kent and the hired boy Perry Miller, fights her teacher, writes letters to her dead father on old account books and lives for the moments she calls the flash, when the curtain between worlds seems to lift.
