Emily is a dreamer - a romantic young girl who gazes at the night sky and imagines worlds hidden among the twinkling stars. And she writes because that is her passion. When she is suddenly orphaned, Emily is sent to live with her stern relatives at the family farm, New Moon. Under the roof of her heavy-hearted Aunt Elizabeth, there is no room for emotion or imagination. Emily's courage and determination to be true to herself inspires those around her to question their conformity, and to slowly reveal the warmth and vitality hidden deep within their hearts. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Prince Edward Island, Emily of New Moon is a brilliantly acted series which brings to life the endearing story of this heroine of classic Canadian literature.
