About the author
Lucy Maud Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, on Prince Edward Island, Canada, is a literary icon best known for her Anne of Green Gables series that has delighted readers for over a century. Montgomery's writing career spanned more than thirty years during which she captured the imagination and hearts of readers worldwide with her charming characters and vivid landscapes.
