Dr. Gabriella Åhmansson During the Institute's 10 anniversary celebration Dr. Gabriella Åhmansson donated Swedish copies of several of Montgomery's books. She explained how she had searched all over for copies exactly like the ones she had read and enjoyed, and she promised to complete for the Institute the collection that she had started by 2008, or she would donate her own collection to the Institute. Anne of Green Gables was published in Swedish in 1909, only one year after its publication in English and so Anne has been known and loved in Sweden for almost as long as she has been in Canada. |

International Collection Inspired by Dr. Åhmansson's donation, the L.M. Montgomery Institute began to take interest in copies of Montgomery's books, translated into different languages. The donations have been wonderful. Adding to the Swedish books are three German, three Hebrew, one Russian, and one Lithuanian books. Martina Seifert from Germany, donated Anne auf Green Gables, Anne in Avonlea, and Emily auf der Moon_Farm. Gratitude is also extended to Leah Tavor of Israel who donated copies of Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Anne of the Island in Hebrew, Elizaveta Sorokina of Moscow Region, Russia for her Russian copy of Anne of Green Gables, and Kestuties Urba from Lithuania for Anne of Green Gables in Lithuanian. |
