Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a distinguished Canadian author, celebrated primarily for her series of novels beginning with 'Anne of Green Gables,' which has become a classic in children's literature. Born on Prince Edward Island, Montgomery's early life in rural Canada provided the rich setting for her literary world. After attending Prince of Wales College and Dalhousie University, she embarked on a career as a teacher, but her passion for writing led her back to Prince Edward Island, where she would draw inspiration for her storytelling. Montgomery's 'Anne Shirley' series, packaged as 'Anne Shirley (Complete 14 Book Collection),' charts the life of an imaginative, red-headed orphan growing up and her experiences in the fictional community of Avonlea. Montgomery's narrative style is marked by its warmth, wit, and an unerring ability to capture the idiosyncrasies of human nature, which endeared her to readers worldwide. Her contribution to literature was profound, influencing a generation of writers and readers and remaining popular even today. Beyond the Anne series, Montgomery's body of work includes poems, short stories, and over twenty novels. Her stories continue to be treasured for their timeless qualities and touch upon themes of belonging, resilience, and the importance of community—a testament to Montgomery's enduring legacy in the literary world.
