L.M Montgomery – Celebrating 150 Years

As we commemorate Montgomery’s 150th birthday in 2024, it’s impossible not to reflect on the enduring impact of her work. “Anne of Green Gables” has been translated into dozens of languages, and adapted into numerous films, television series, and stage productions, ensuring that Anne’s story remains alive and cherished by audiences worldwide. Along with Anne of Green Gables, Montgomery wrote many other books, short stories, and poems including Emily of New Moon, Jane of Lantern Hill, and Pat of Silver Bush. Her stories and characters were relatable in the time they were written, and still resonate with readers today in a very different society.

Prince Edward Island undoubtedly greatly impacted Montgomery’s stories, and we are excited to celebrate her life and legacy in PEI in 2024! If you are visiting in 2024, here are some things you should put on your list of things to do this year!
