Book Overview

by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Author), L. M. Montgomery (Author)

Emily of New Moon is the opening novel in L. M. Montgomery's beloved Emily trilogy, introducing one of the most introspective heroines in early twentieth-century children's literature.

After the death of her father, young Emily Starr is sent to live with her strict relatives at New Moon Farm on Prince Edward Island. Sensitive, imaginative, and fiercely determined to become a writer, Emily struggles against emotional reserve, family expectation, and the rigid social codes of her rural community. Unlike the buoyant optimism of Anne Shirley, Emily's inner life is marked by discipline, artistic ambition, and a profound sense of vocation.

Montgomery's portrayal of childhood here is more psychologically nuanced than in her earlier works. Through Emily's letters, journal entries, and "flash" moments of inspiration, the novel traces the development of a young artist learning to balance imagination with resilience. The Prince Edward Island setting remains vivid and elemental, yet the emotional tone is more restrained, even austere, reflecting Montgomery's mature craftsmanship.

This Wilder Publications edition presents the complete, unabridged 1923 text and restores the first volume of the Emily series to its proper place within Montgomery's enduring body of work.

About L. M. Montgomery
Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site-namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.
