From the Lake of Shining Waters and the Haunted Wood to Lover’s Lane, you’ll be immersed in the real places immortalized in the novels. Using Montgomery’s journals, archives, and scrapbooks, Catherine Reid explores the many similarities between Montgomery and her unforgettable heroine, Anne Shirley.

Review “This book will be treasured by Montgomery’s legions of fans.” —Carolyn Strom Collins, author of The Anne of Green Gables Treasury; editor of After Many Years: Twenty-one “Long-Lost” Stories by L. M. Montgomery “I love reading little bits about L. M. Montgomery that coincide with Anne’s life. . . . This will be a welcome keepsake in my home.” —Bridget Beth Collins, creator of Flora Forager “There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing gorgeous pictures of sunsets, shores, and gardens alongside snippets of Montgomery’s musical, flowery prose.

Anne enthusiasts will learn more about what inspired Montgomery, while nature lovers will find a kindred spirit in Reid, who clearly has a passion for all things green and growing.” — Booklist starred review “This is not just a book filled with beautiful photos; it’s a satisfyingly rich and layered combination of the visual and intellectual.

Montgomery’s beloved book, Anne of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, Canada, played a role that is arguably just as important as the series’ protagonist, Anne Shirley. Wanting to bring the island to life years later, author Catherine Reid explores the very places that inspired Montgomery and became immortalized in her prose.” — The Smithsonian Magazine “Evocative. . . . compelling. . . . The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables is a sweet book. . . for those who wish to take a visual journey through PEI or learn more about a beloved childhood book.” — NYBG’s Plant Talk “Wait until you see the real Prince Edward Island. This lush, vivid, and beautifully executed book takes you to all the storied locations. Having walked these in person, I can vouch for this book’s authenticity.” — Book Riot “Whether you read the Anne saga growing up (particularly popular with young girls) or are brainstorming now for a summer vacation jewel, this new The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables is certain to delight.

It is graced with positive quotes, poems and anecdotes; festooned with fascinating history; dressed in scores of images from yesteryear and today. . . . Reid herself deserves ample applause for this wet-kiss, well-crafted ode to all that makes Prince Edward Island and its most esteemed native resonate with readers and visitors. Oh, Canada!” — Forbes “For a book with so many gorgeous pictures, it is also a delightful read. Reid’s writing never feels like it’s merely ‘copy’ used to occupy space between photos.
