Kilmeny of the Orchard By L. M. Montgomery Eric Marshall has arrived on Prince Edward Island to take on the role of schoolmaster for a short while. Once there he meets the astonishingly beautiful and wonderfully mysterious Kilmeny. However, Kilmeny's curious affliction holds her back from true happiness. Can the young couple overcome the odds set out against them? 'Kilmeny of the Orchard' by L. M. Montgomery was originally published in 1910 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
