Lucy Maud Montgomery

Much like her famous heroine Anne, Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was forced to adjust early in life to a new and unfamiliar home. After her mother's death and her father's abandonment, Montgomery was sent to live with her grandparents. Her childhood home was stern and gloomy, driving the young Montgomery to develop a strong imagination to bring her comfort and escape. A good student, Montgomery became a teacher after college, and went on to write for Canadian newspapers. She made the leap to writing novels with the publication of her first book, Anne of Green Gables, in 1908. As she became a wife and mother, Montgomery continued to write, eventually publishing dozens of novels and short stories. Imagination and the bonds of friendship and family are prominent features of Montgomery's fiction—her moving portrayals of human experience and the joys and sorrows of growing up have inspired generations of readers to travel through her enchanting fictional world of Avonlea time and time again.
