Green Gables: Lucy Maud Montgomery's Favourite Places (Formac Illustrated History) by Kessler, Deirdre. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780887809095.

The landscape of Prince Edward Island set Lucy Maud Montgomerys imagination on fire. This book explores the places where she grew up and explores the settings of her most famous works of fiction. Green Gables, once the home of Montgomerys relatives, is now furnished and decorated based on descriptions in her most famous novel. Nearby is the authors childhood home -- her grandparents farm -- and, at New London, her lovingly preserved birthplace. At Park Corner, visitors can enjoy one of her favourite places -- Silver Bush, the home of her Campbell cousins. This book offers all new, beautiful photographs and historical images of the sites. Author Deirdre Kessler provides detailed background on these places, putting them in the context of rural life on Prince Edward Island a century ago.
