Additional essays offer fascinating background information on such topics as the geography of Prince Edward Island (where 'Anne' takes place); the education, orphanages, music, and literature of Anne's time. Elegantly and beautifully designed, with generous illustrations from previous editions, photographs of the places the novel inhabits, and explanatory drawings that reproduce the texture of Anne's world.
