Anne of Green Gables Vintage Candle Lamp, Postage Stamp Booklet and Journal

Looking for a gift for an ‘Anne’ reader? It’s hard to believe that the irrepressible Anne Shirley might have lain hidden in a hat box forever. When Lucy Maud Montgomery completed her first novel in 1905, she received several rejections from publishers, so she put the story away. But Anne, with characteristic persistence, must have tugged at her imagination. A few years later, Montgomery retrieved the novel and sent it out again. Anne of Green Gables was finally published in Boston in 1908, to immediate success. One hundred years later, Anne and her story are featured on a pair of domestic rate (52¢) stamps issued by Canada Post in 2008 to celebrate the novel's centennial. Purchased at the Green Gables Post Office in Cavendish, PEI in 2008, this stamp booklet contains 10 unused stamps in new condition. The pewter candle lamp is made by Delta Pewter, Prince Edward Island. The candle is included. There is slight tarnishing on the part of the lamp that surrounds candle. The vintage journal is filled with drawings and quotations from Anne of Green Gables, the novel. The candle lamp, candle, journal and stamp booklet are included in the bundle.
