Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a Canadian author best known for her beloved Anne of Green Gables series. Born in Clifton (now New London), Prince Edward Island, Montgomery grew up under the care of her grandparents after her mother’s death and her father’s emotional distance. She began writing at a young age, with her first poem published when she was just nine. Montgomery’s most famous work, Anne of Green Gables (1908), introduced the spirited and imaginative red-haired orphan Anne Shirley, who captured the hearts of readers worldwide. Over the years, she wrote several novels, short stories, and poems, often drawing inspiration from her surroundings in Prince Edward Island. Her works typically explore themes of nature, personal growth, relationships, and the complexities of small-town life. Montgomery’s writing was hugely popular, and her works have remained in print for generations, cementing her place as one of Canada’s most iconic authors. Though her life was marked by personal struggles, including bouts of depression, Montgomery’s legacy endures through her beloved characters and stories, continuing to inspire readers of all ages. |
