Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author best known for her children's novel Anne of Green Gables. Montgomery wrote over 20 novels, 500 short stories, 500 poems and numerous essays. She was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, and was an avid reader, writing her first poem at the age of 10. Montgomery attended Prince of Wales College, where she studied literature, and later taught school in various places before returning to Prince Edward Island to settle down. She wrote her first novel, Anne of Green Gables in 1908, and it soon became a bestseller. Montgomery wrote several sequels to the novel, as well as other books set in Prince Edward Island. Montgomery was an advocate for women's rights and education and was active in the temperance movement, which sought to end the sale of alcohol. Her writing was influenced by her Christian faith, as well as her love for the landscape of Prince Edward Island. Montgomery's works remain popular today, and her life has been the subject of numerous biographies and films. She was inducted into the Canadian Literary Hall of Fame in 1981, and her home in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, is now a National Historic Site.
