Jane, for as long as she can remember, lived on a Cheerful Street with a kind mother and a stern grandmother. But she wasn't having any fun on Veselyaya Street. In a huge old mansion, it is forbidden to run and talk loudly, you should behave very stiffly at the table, read the Bible aloud in the evenings, and generally be as quiet as possible. However, even while fulfilling all these requirements, Jane feels that her grandmother does not like her for some unknown reason. One day, Jane receives a letter from her father, whom she had never seen and believed to be long dead. Now this mysterious man invites Jane to spend the whole summer with him on Prince Edward Island (a magical place well known to fans of Lucy Maud Montgomery's work!). Beside herself with fear and misgivings, the girl sets off on a journey, not even suspecting what amazing worlds and incredible events the future holds for her.…The novel is being published in a new translation by Alexandra Glebovskaya.
