Emily of New Moon is the opening novel in L. M. Montgomerys beloved Emily trilogy, introducing one of the most introspective heroines in early twentiethcentury childrens literature.After the death of her father, young Emily Starr is sent to live with her strict relatives at New Moon Farm on Prince Edward Island. Sensitive, imaginative, and fiercely determined to become a writer, Emily struggles against emotional reserve, family expectation, and the rigid social codes of her rural community. Unlike the buoyant optimism of Anne Shirley, Emilys inner life is marked by discipline, artistic ambition, and a profound sense of vocation.Montgomerys portrayal of childhood here is more psychologically nuanced than in her earlier works. Through Emilys letters, journal entries, and "flash" moments of inspiration, the novel traces the development of a young artist learning to balance imagination with resilience. The Prince Edward Island setting remains vivid and elemental, yet the emotional tone is more restrained, even austere, reflecting Montgomerys mature craftsmanship.This Wilder Publications edition presents the complete, unabridged 1923 text and restores the first volume of the Emily series to its proper place within Montgomerys enduring body of work.
