Jane of Lantern Hill

From the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables comes the delightful story of Jane Victoria Stuart, a young girl who escapes her strict and unfulfilling life in Toronto to spend the summer on Prince Edward Island. Jane has always believed her father to be dead, but her world is turned upside down when she discovers that he is, in fact, alive and residing on Prince Edward Island. This revelation sets Jane on a journey of self-discovery as she sets off to spend a summer with him at Lantern Hill. Surrounded by the island's natural beauty and the warmth of her father's love, Jane experiences a happiness she never thought possible. The summer at Lantern Hill becomes a magical time of personal growth, joy, and newfound freedom - quite the opposite of her dreary and unhappy life in Toronto. First published in 1937, Jane of Lantern Hill is among the last of L. M. Montgomery's novels. Perfect for lovers of the Anne series, this Read & Co. Children's edition is a warm, hopeful story full of Montgomery's trademark charm.
