Lucy Maud Montgomery, a Canadian author, is best known for her novel "Anne of Green Gables," which gained her international fame and established her writing career. Born in 1874 on Prince Edward Island, she lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her grandparents. Montgomery's early life was marked by loneliness, which she credited for developing her creativity. She had a tumultuous personal life, with numerous love interests and an unhappy marriage to Ewen Macdonald, a Presbyterian minister. Despite her personal struggles, Montgomery continued to write prolifically, producing numerous sequels to "Anne" and other novels. Her works were often set in Prince Edward Island, which became a popular tourist site. Montgomery's life was also marked by bouts of depression, and she may have ended her life through a drug overdose in 1942. Despite being dismissed by critics during her lifetime, her work continues to be celebrated and she remains the most successful Canadian author of all time.

BY A REMARKABLE CANADIAN WRITER.
The beloved author of Anne of Green Gables continues the adventures of Emily Starr, L. M. Montgomery's own favourite character, in Emily Climbs, the second instalment of the Emily of New Moon trilogy.
Emily never imagined Aunt Elizabeth would allow her to go to high school in Shrewsbury, and she's thrilled, especially as her close friends Ilse, Teddy and Perry will be there. But there are certain conditions: for the whole three years Emily must board with hateful Aunt Ruth, and she must promise to stop writing stories. To Emily, this is unthinkable, but she wants an education, and reluctantly agrees.
With the move from her beloved home at New Moon to Aunt Ruth's house, Emily's world is turned upside down. Not only must she prove herself at school, despite rejection and jealousy, but she can no longer count on her friends. Her happy childhood friendships - especially with Teddy and Perry - start to turn into something more complicated and in a small-town, the merest hint of gossip can cause scandal.
Heart-rending, magical and utterly unforgettable, Emily's story continues in Emily's Quest, also available from Virago Modern Classics.
