A single pine from David Johnson's 1871 drawing at Lake George stands quietly on the cover, its branches caught in fine pencil. Inside, Anne Shirley's words from L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables: "Dear old world, you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you." For someone who finds joy in simple days.
