Synopsis "Emily of new Moon: A Virago Modern Classic (Emily Trilogy)"

FROM THE BELOVED AUTHOR OF ANNE OF GREEN GABLES Discover L. M. Montgomery's own favourite character in the Emily of New Moon trilogy. It features a spirited heroine who will beguile readers of all ages. Emily's story is heart-rending, magical and completely unforgettable. Emily Starr has never known what it is to be unloved. But when her father dies, she is left in the care of her mother's family. Emily is a stranger to the proud Murrays, none of whom think they can cope with such a heartbroken, headstrong girl. They decide to draw lots for her, and Emily is sent to live at New Moon with stern Aunt Elizabeth, the head of the clan. Kind Aunt Laura and friendly, eccentric Cousin Jimmy also live at New Moon, though, so she is not without hope. Emily is enchanted by New Moon, but cannot believe she will ever belong there. With her lively imagination and dreams of being a famous writer, she seems to have a talent for scandalising her family. Before long, though, she has made firm friends: Ilse, a tomboy with a blazing temper, Teddy, an aspiring artist, and Perry, the ambitious houseboy. She brings so much life to New Moon, perhaps one day even Aunt Elizabeth will consider herself lucky to have 'won' Emily. Emily's story continues in: Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest, both available from Virago Modern Classics

Lucy Maud Montgomery fue una periodista y novelista canadiense, especialmente reconocida por las novelas de _Ana de las Tejas Verdes_. Su madre murió cuando Lucy tenía veintiún meses y su padre se marchó a hacer fortuna y la dejó a cargo de sus abuelos, lo cual sin duda influyó en la futura creación de su personaje más popular. Después de trabajar de maestra, comenzó a colaborar en periódicos locales y fue entonces cuando creó el personaje que cambiaría su vida. Ana de las Tejas Verdes cuenta la historia de dos hermanos, dueños de la granja Tejas Verdes, que deciden adoptar a un niño huérfano pero que, debido a una serie de malentendidos, en lugar de un niño reciben a una niña pelirroja, pálida y llena de pecas que con su alegría y desbordante imaginación cambiará la vida de todo el pueblo. Montgomery narra con mano maestra las experiencias de una niña en un entorno rural. Aunque en un principio, las aventuras de Ana no estaban destinadas a un público en concreto, en las últimas décadas, el libro se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura infantil.
