A short biography of Anne's creator, Lucy Maud Montgomery, is included along with synopses of all the Anne books. Sprinkled throughout the text are quotes from the Anne books set against more than 150 full-colour reproductions of original paintings and sketches, all thoroughly researched and authenticated.
