Anne of the Library on the Hill

Anne of the Library-on-the-Hill by Catherine Little, illustrated by Sae Kimura, is a heartfelt children’s story set in the aftermath of the Great War. It follows a young girl named Anne who seeks refuge and inspiration in her neighborhood library, escaping into the pages of her favorite books—especially those written by L.M. Montgomery. When Anne learns that her literary hero is visiting her town, her imagination and love of stories soar even higher. Inspired by a true historical detail from L.M. Montgomery’s own journals, this gentle, beautifully illustrated book celebrates the magic of reading, the comfort of imagination, and the lasting power of literary connection.
