“I went up on the hill and walked about until twilight had deepened into an autumn night with a benediction of starry quietude over it. I was alone but not lonely. I was a queen in halls of fancy.”

Canadian author of the early 20th century, L.M. Montgomery crafted the enduring *Anne of Green Gables* series, weaving stories of resilience and imagination in rural Prince Edward Island.
