Recurring cast included Chip Chuipka as Mr. Carpenter, Peter Donaldson as Ian Bowles, Richard Donat as Dr. Burnley, Kris Lemche as Perry Miller, John Neville as Uncle Malcolm, Jessica Pellerin as Ilse Burnley, Shawn Roberts as Teddy Kent, and Linda Thorson as Cousin Isabel.

Plot
This is the story of a young orphan girl named Emily Starr who is sent to live at New Moon Farm on Prince Edward Island with her aunts Elizabeth and Laura Murray and her Cousin Jimmy after her father dies of tuberculosis. She makes friends with Ilse Burnley, Teddy Kent, and Perry Miller, the hired boy, who Aunt Elizabeth looks down upon because he was born in 'Stovepipe Town', a poorer district.
Each of the children has a special gift. Emily was born to be a writer, Teddy is a gifted artist, Ilse is a talented elocutionist, and Perry has the makings of a great politician. They also each have a few problems with their families. Emily has a hard time getting along with Aunt Elizabeth, who does not understand her need to write. Ilse's father, Dr. Burnley, ignores Ilse most of the time because of a dreadful secret concerning Ilse's mother. Teddy's mother is jealous of her son's talents and friends, fearing that his love for them will eclipse his love for her; as a result, she hates Emily, Teddy's drawings, and even his pets. Perry is not as well off as the other three, so his Aunt Tom once tries to make Emily promise to marry Perry when they grow up, threatening that unless Emily does so, she will not pay for Perry's schooling.
Other unforgettable characters are Dean "Jarback" Priest, a quiet, mysterious cynic who wants something he fears is ever unattainable; fiery Mr Carpenter, the crusty old schoolteacher who is Emily's mentor and honest critic when it comes to evaluating her stories and poems; "simple" Cousin Jimmy, who recites his poetry when the spirit moves him; Aunt Laura, who is the kind aunt; and strict, suspicious Aunt Elizabeth who yet proves to be an unexpected ally in times of trouble.

Emily, who had lost her father, was adopted by the Murrays, and has just arrived at New Moon.
However, the naughty kitty, Saucy Sal was hiding in Emily's luggage.
We're in trouble now.
What happened out there?
What is all this commotion?

This is the school.
Go back, Missy!
This place isn't suited for you.
Emily of New Moon 04.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Dear Father,
Ilse and I argue almost every other day.
Some of the things that she spouts are simply incomprehensible.
Like, "If you keep on pouting, you're going to turn into a cat."
But I really enjoy myself when I'm with her.

I'm off to school!
Good morning, Perry!

Good morning, Ilse.

For a woman to be writing stories and such is simply shameful!
Even you can't erase the script in my head!
Emily!
Yes, I'm coming!
What were you doing?
Emily of New Moon 07.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Emily.
What are you doing?
There is rat poison in these apples.
Do not eat?
Playing such juvenile tricks on children is not the behaviour of a mature person.
Emily of New Moon 08.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Dear Father,
Autumn at New Moon is a very peaceful season...
especially during the afternoons, when everyone is out.
I often look at the view room during these times.
I was told by Cousin Jimmy
Emily of New Moon 09.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Oh, Doctor Burnley won't be around for three days?
Yeah, he's going to the hospital in town to examine the patients.
He goes there several times a year.
You'll be alone at night, won't you?
Aren't you afraid?
Emily of New Moon 10.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
It's unfortunate that I cannot stay to see you all graduate.
I'd like you all to listen to your new teacher, and study harder as well.
I have related much about the class to him.
Deep into autumn, the leaves of the trees in New Moon are stained with the colour of gold.
Miss Brownell is getting married and leaving the school.

as winter approaches New Moon, the wind gets colder with each passing day.
Good morning, Perry.
Good morning, Emily.
Look at this.

New Moon has just finished preparing for the coming winter.
Dear Father,
Cousin Jimmy has been giving names to the flowers in the garden.
The rose is "The Queen".
The violets are "The Blue People".
Emily of New Moon 13.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
Winter has come to New Moon.
The winter is harsh and cold.
But daily life, as seen by Emily, is both fresh and enjoyable.
The cold does not bother her one bit.
Today is the day when the much anticipated Christmas party will be held.
Emily of New Moon 14.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
The long awaited spring has finally arrived.
For Emily and her friends, whose movements were restricted by the winter,
the most anticipated event was the school-organised Sunday picnic.
Wow! It looks delicious!
Cold-cuts and potatoes!

Straighten your left leg a little more.
Okay, that's it.
Straighten your posture.
Don't widen your shoulders so much.
Tilt your head a little.
Emily of New Moon 16.ass (DOWNLOAD SUBTITLES)
During summer, Emily visited her Grandaunt, Nancy Priest, at her house by Priest Pond.
Here, she could do anything and not get reprimanded.
Of course, that included her writing.
Dear Father,
my favourite spot to visit is the nearby beach.

Dear Father,
my dear friend, Ilse, lives with her father.
Good morning, Ilse.
Good morning, Emily.
The weather's just great!

Emily's heart is filled with dreams that are growing every day.
But she doesn't know where to direct her emotions yet.
The breath of the trees...
fills the earth with a warm melody.
Fills the earth with a warm melody...

I wonder if they really published it.
It would be nice if they did.
Oh look, it's that girl from the party.
She was the one who recited a poem with Jo Rose, wasn't she?
She's still so young...

This is the third summer since Emily moved to New Moon.
This is amazing.
It looks just like the real thing.
I made it from calfskin.
It's very well made.

Emily would attend school while boarding with Aunt Ruth, who lived in Shrewsbury.
Excuse me.
You need to be more careful with that heavy luggage of yours.
Where are you from?
I come from New Moon.

Emily and friends, who are attending school at Shrewsbury High,

The upcoming dance party?
That's right.
Who is it?

Emily spent her active youth in Shrewsbury.
She read novels and wrote her poems.
Those were the days when she, Ilse, Teddy and Perry could banter to their hearts' content.
Every day was satisfying as Emily matured into a young woman.
At that moment, I...

Dear Ilse,
it's nearly the second winter since we returned from Shrewsbury.
The coming winter at New Moon looks to be another harsh one.

Christmas at the Applegath's was a busy one, starting from the crack of dawn.
Peg Applegath looked up at the birch tree with luminous, viridian eyes.
