'Eric Marshall has arrived on Prince Edward Island to take on the role of schoolmaster for a short while. Once there he meets the astonishingly beautiful and wonderfully mysterious Kilmeny. However, Kilmeny's curious affliction holds her back from true happiness. Can the young couple overcome the odds set out against them?This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1910 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.

It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name.
