For as long as she could remember Jane Stuart and her mother lived with her grandmother in a dreary mansion in Toronto. Jane always believed her father was dead—until she accidentally learned he was alive and well and living on Prince Edward Island. When Jane spends the summer at his cottage on Lantern Hill doing all the wonderful things Grandmother deems unladylike she dares to dream that there could be such a house back in Toronto...a house where she Mother and Father could live together without Grandmother directing their lives—a house that could be called home About The Author: Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton Prince Edward Island in 1874. Educated at Prince Edward College Charlottetown and Dalhousie University she embarked on a career in teaching.
