About the Author Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874–April 24, 1942) publicly known as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables , published in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, 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. Montgomery went on to publish twenty novels as well as 500 short stories and poems. Because many of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, Canada and the Canadian province became literary landmarks. She was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.

Missing Anne of Windy Poplars

Lovely set, I looked forward to sharing it with my daughter. Discovered the set skips over book 4, Anne of Windy Poplars, which occurs before Anne’s House of Dreams. Hoping to find it individually. No luck yet.

This is what the books in the paperback set actually look like.

I think at the $23 price point, it's a fine value just for being able to read four of the absolutely wonderful and inspirational stories of the Anne series. However, I think the graphic design and quality of this set is a bit fast and cheap and really doesn't echo the spirit of Anne at all.

Very cute!

I did not read all the books because they were a gift but I am a big fan of box sets because they all match in size & cover art. These are very cute & aesthetic. These were a gift for someone who also enjoys watching Anne of Green Gables on Netflix.
