A young guide dressed as Anne of Green Gables introduces a boy and girl to the sculpture of Lucy Maud Montgomery. The bronze sculpture, by Wynn Walters, depicts Maud sitting on a garden bench, a book on her lap. The children sit beside the statue as “Anne” leans over from behind the bench and chats with the children.
