“Oh, sometimes I think it is of no use to make friends. They only go out of your life after a while and leave a hurt that is worse than the emptiness before they came.”

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. Her work blends whimsy and depth, exploring childhood wonder, emotional complexity, and the quiet strength of ordinary lives.
