| Janet Lunn |
Janet Lunn was born in 1928 in Dallas, Texas, and left there when she
was six months old. She grew up in rural Vermont and the suburbs of
New York City, graduating from high school in Montclair, New Jersey
in 1946. She attended Notre Dame College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
and Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. She married Richard
Lunn (a fellow student at Queen’s) in 1950 and became a Canadian
citizen in 1963.
The Lunns had five children, four sons and a daughter, between 1950
and 1958. They lived in Kingston and then Toronto until they moved to
an old farm house at the edge of Lake Ontario in Prince Edward
County, Ontario.

an old farm house at the edge of Lake Ontario in Prince Edward
County, Ontario.
The children grew up and moved away. Richard Lunn died in 1987. In the summer of 1999, Janet moved
to a town house in the city of Ottawa where she still lives. She says that she misses her farm house and
the landscape where she set so many of her stories but Ottawa has long been a favourite city and her
small, enclosed garden suits her very well now. Janet says that she was a child who loved reading or
being out on the hills or beside the brook that ran behind her family’s Vermont farmhouse more than
anything. She was often in trouble in school for daydreaming and because she hadn’t (and still hasn’t)
any head for numbers. When she was a teenager, she worked summers in the library and saved all the
money she earned to go to movies or to go into New York City to the opera or the theatre. She says she
was never the kind of “cool” kid, people write tv sitcoms about.
Janet says that she writes the kind of stories she has always liked to read and that they all reflect her
own feelings about people, how we are and, sometimes, how we might better be.
