"I cannot remember the time when I was not
writing, or when I did not mean to be an author."
It all started with a lively redhead named Anne -
Anne of Green Gables, that is! On a rainy night in
1905, Lucy Maud Montgomery began writing
Anne's story. She based many of Anne's
adventures on her own true-life experiences.
When the book was published in 1908, it was an
instant bestseller and Maud became one of the
world's most recognized and beloved authors.
Did you know that writing Anne of Green Gables
was only one of Lucy Maud Montgomery's many
achievements?
- Maud became a publisher author at 15 years old.
- In 1914, she mad $12,000 in royalties - earning as
much as Canada's prime minister.
- Anne of Green Gables was one of the first
English-language novels to be translated into Japanese.
Meet Lucy Maud Montgomery, the creator of
Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon.
Explore the struggles and triumphs of a writer's
