Anne of Green Gables

Home / ABOUT PEI /

"Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think.
It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in
the world."
- L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

When the novel Anne of Green Gables was first published in 1908, most people could only dream of visiting its magical setting. As the book became popular around the world, it's likely that many readers had no idea where Prince Edward Island was. They may have even wondered, "Is it a real place?" Today, millions of the book's fans have made the trip to PEI and discovered the land that captivated Anne in Lucy Maud Montgomery's stories. And for those who just can't get enough of their favourite red-headed girl, or the woman who created her, there are Anne-related attractions all over the Island.
