L. M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery is best known for her novels involving a red-headed orphan named Anne Shirley, the star of Anne of Green Gables. Born in 1874 in Canada, L.M. Montgomery was raised by her grandparents on Prince Edward Island, the setting she brought to life through her books. The Story Girl is believed to have been her personal favorite of all her stories, which have been translated into more than a dozen languages and continue to maintain international best-selling status. L.M. Montgomery lived a remarkably sincere, humble, and sacrificial life of Christian virtue until her death in 1942.
