Patricia Gardiner is another of Montgomery's sweet-natured and
agreeable heroines. She grows up in the beautiful house of Silver
Bush, surrounded by a large family, whose true mother-figure is
their Irish cook, Judy. She loves and clings to the house as the
best and most constant source of happiness in her life. As she
matures she becomes more accepting of the inevitability of change,
despite her experiences of illness and loss. Montgomery said that
there was more of herself in Pat than any of her other heroines,
and this novel strongly echoes her own lovingly remembered
childhood on Prince Edward Island, with Silver Bush standing in for
her cousins' house, Park Corner.

When the Cuthberts send to an orphanage for a boy to help them at
Green Gables, their farm in Canada, they are astonished when a
talkative little girl steps off the train. Anne, red-headed,
pugnacious and incurably romantic, causes chaos at Green Gables and
in the village, but her wit and good nature delight the fictional
community of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and ensure that Anne of
Green Gables continues to be a firm favourite with readers
worldwide. This edition also includes Anne of Avonlea which
continues Anne's story. Now half-past sixteen but as strong-headed
and romantic as ever, Anne becomes a teacher at her old school and
dreams of its improvement. But her responsible position and mature
ambitions do not prevent her entanglement in the scrapes that still
seem to beset her in spite of her best intentions. Thoroughly
charming and amusing, with a supporting cast of colourful and
endearing characters, both books will enchant and entertain
readers, guaranteeing that Anne's adventures capture their
affections as well as their imaginations.

`Digital economy policy for the creative industries is framed too
commonly in terms of refining and strengthening intellectual
property rights. As digitalization grows in scope and importance,
Lucy Montgomery's intriguing book shows how the limitations of this
narrow approach have become all too apparent, as China's creative
industries are thriving in an ever increasing digital global
society because (and not despite) of the fact that their
businesses, innovations, skills and markets have grown up with weak
copyright enforcement regimes.' - Birgitte Andersen, Birkbeck
College, University of London, UK `Lucy Montgomery brings together
thought-provoking insights into China's cultural and creative
sectors, notably the shift from official culture to entrepreneurial
consumers, the relative unimportance of copyright compared to
Western economies, and the need for us to understand evolutionary
economics. The result is a new model of China's online networks as
a public source of cultural products. Her book should be required
reading everywhere that wants to understand what is happening in
China.' - John Howkins, City University, London, Howkins &
Associates, Shanghai and author of Creative Ecologies China's
Creative Industries explores the role of new technologies,
globalization and higher levels of connectivity in re-defining
relationships between `producers' and `consumers' in 21st century
China. The evolution of new business models, the impact of state
regulation, the rise of entrepreneurial consumers and the role of
intellectual property rights are traced through China's film, music
and fashion industries. The book argues that social network
markets, consumer entrepreneurship and business model evolution are
driving forces in the production and commercialization of cultural
commodities. In doing so it raises important questions about
copyright's role in the business of culture, particularly in a
digital age. With a specially commissioned foreword by John
Hartley, this insightful book will appeal to post-graduate students
and academic researchers in China and Asian studies, intellectual
property, cultural studies, film, music and fashion studies,
cultural economics and innovation management. People working in the
creative industries with an interest in devising strategies for
expansion into the Chinese market, as well as people working in the
creative industries outside China with an interest in developing
successful digital strategies, will also find much to interest them
in this book.

"Anne of Green Gables" is the classic story and first book in Lucy
Maud Montgomery's beloved series about a precocious girl, Anne
Shirley. This wonderfully funny story follows young, orphaned Anne
as she moves to the small town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island,
Canada and finds people to love, finds her place in the world, and
eventually grows into her own. This is a timeless story of
childhood mistakes and adventures that everyone should read, being
a particularly poignant book for girls. Young teenagers will find
this story of adolescent joys and missteps both entertaining and
meaningful. The character of Anne Shirley quickly won over the
hearts of readers when the book was published in 1908. Mark Twain
wrote to Lucy Maud Montgomery saying Anne Shirley was "the dearest,
and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."
Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's novel tells the tale of
Anne Shirley, a red-headed orphan mistakenly fostered on Matthew
and Marilla Cuthbert, two middle aged siblings who run a small farm
on Canada's Prince Edward Island. The Cuthberts had 'ordered' an
orphan boy to help in the fields, but Anne's talkative nature, her
romantic nature and irrepressible optimism gradually charm the
staid old couple. She is allowed to stay and is soon popular with
her schoolmates, especially her bosom friend Diana, and the
handsome and annoying Gilbert Blythe, whom Anne refuses to speak to
after he jokingly calls her 'Carrots'. The author lovingly traces
Anne's journey through childhood, following her adventures and
misadventures from a naive, melodramatic child to an intelligent,
selfless young woman who, despite setbacks, remains unconquerably
optimistic about life and the human condition.
