关于作者

Lucy Maud Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, stands as one of Canada’s most cherished authors. Renowned primarily for her Anne of Green Gables series, Montgomery imbued her narratives with rich descriptions of the Canadian landscape, creating a vivid setting for her endearing characters. Her literary career began in 1908 with the publication of the first book in the series which introduced Anne Shirley, the imaginative and spirited redhead who would captivate readers worldwide. However, Montgomery’s craft extended beyond the Green Gables, as exemplified by her collection ‘The Complete Tales of Avonlea’, a work which further explores the lives and communities in the fictional world of Avonlea. Montgomery’s style is characterized by its warmth, humor, and ability to address poignant issues with sensitivity. Her work has not only contributed significantly to children’s literature but also has a marked place in early Canadian feminist writing, as her female protagonists often break the conventional boundaries of their time. Before her death on April 24, 1942, Montgomery authored 20 novels, over 500 short stories, an autobiography, and a selection of poetry, leaving a lasting legacy in the canon of literary treasures.
