L. M. Montgomery

L.M. Montgomery’s first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908; her last book (in her lifetime, that is), Jane of Lantern Hill, was published in the 1930s. Cover art was a marketing tool; an attractive, well-made book naturally interested buyers. The history of Montgomery covers, when we look behind them, reflects changes in publishers, changing styles, and changing technologies. (In fact, try comparing these original covers to the reprints available today to really see changes in style.)
