About the author

Born in Prince Edward Island in 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up largely with her grandparents in Cavendish after her mother died when she was very young. That landscape stayed with her for life and became the emotional home of much of her fiction.

She found worldwide success with Anne of Green Gables in 1908, and went on to write many more novels, short stories, poems, and journal pieces. Sources consistently describe her as one of Canada’s most widely read authors, and her work remains closely tied to the literary identity of Prince Edward Island.

Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942. Beyond Anne Shirley, readers still return to her writing for its vivid sense of place, memorable heroines, and the way it balances comfort with real feeling.
