Про цю електронну книгу
A lost classic by the author of?Anne of Green Gables,?Emily of New Moon?is a coming-of-age story about newly orphaned Emily Byrd Starr, who deals with the loss of her beloved father as she tries to adjust to life at old-fashioned New Moon farm with her aunts and cousin. Emily, a budding writer with a mysterious sense of the otherworldly, makes quick friends in her new home and lands in more than her share of scrapes along the way. But she remains haunted by one thing: the scandalous mystery of what happened to her best friend's mother. Will Emily thrive under the austere rule of her Aunt Elizabeth? What will happen when she visits her notorious Great-Aunt, Nancy Priest—rumored to be a witch? And will she learn what happened to the missing Beatrice Burnley—and at what cost? With a new foreword by esteemed scholar Dr. E. Holly Pike, an expert with regard to L.M. Montgomery's career and works, this new edition will delight fans of all ages and introduce them to a heroine that the author felt closer to than her most famous character,?Anne of Green Gables
Про автора
"Lucy Maud Montgomery -- Maud to friends -- was the creator of Anne of Green Gables, who wrote 20 novels and hundreds of short stories and poems in her lifetime. It might seem she wrote solely what she knew -- the idyllic and individualistic lives of young ladies in small town Canada. However, Maud was a caregiver for a mentally ill loved one, and waged a lifelong war with her own depression, one that might have taken her own life in the end. Throughout, she took refuge in writing. Whatever storm buffeted, her pen lit fires in the human imagination, not the least of which was her own. In writing Maud could fight. She could rebel against oppressors who were too big to fail, tradition, the repression of women, and the wasted potential of girls. With the slash of a pen, she was more, greater than the roles she was forced to play. This led to towering scenes of freedom, whimsy, and romance, and to forbidden topics familiar to paranormal Young Adult genre lovers today: girls with psychic powers; elfin children; and young, quirky witches, knit into prose. Valancy, often compared to an elfin changeling, is one such heroine, now yours to embrace. "
