catalogue of L.M.Montgomery books
updated 27th January 2012

Books about Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon, Sara Stanley the Story Girl and the other enchanting heroines of Prince Edward Island are still widely read by fans old and new.

Anne has been a favourite since her first appearance in 1908 - nearly 100 years.
We watch her grow from the red-haired little girl looking for love and acceptance to a beautiful young woman and a wise and loving mother.

Books are catalogued in editions - to make it easier for those collecting their books in a certain edition.
So every "Anne of Green Gables" is LMM01 followed by a code denoting its edition.
