About the author
Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), an esteemed Canadian author, is most widely recognized for her contributions to children's literature and her keen portrayal of life in Prince Edward Island. Born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton (now New London), Prince Edward Island, Montgomery's writings were greatly influenced by the natural beauty and rustic life of her home province. After the death of her mother and abandonment by her father, Montgomery was raised by her strict and conservative grandparents. This challenging childhood, however, fostered a rich inner world from which she drew inspiration for her writing. Montgomery's literary acclaim began with her beloved 'Anne of Green Gables' series, which has charmed readers for over a century. Her work is characterized by its vibrant protagonists, exploration of themes such as belonging, identity, and the struggles of maturation, all articulated with emotional depth and a humorous undertone. In 'Jane of Lantern Hill' (1937), Montgomery introduces readers to the imaginative and determined Jane Stuart, who discovers strength and independence against the backdrop of contrasting urban and pastoral settings. Montgomery's writing resonated with readers, offering them escape during the uncertainty of the early 20th century. Despite facing personal adversities, including depression and societal constraints, Montgomery's prolific output of 20 novels, over 500 short stories, an autobiography, and numerous poems has cemented her status as an iconic figure in Canadian literature. Her works continue to be celebrated for their longevity, narrative charm, and the empowering depiction of young women.
