  When Lucy Maud Montgomery was just two years old her mother died. Maud’s father had to move away from Prince Edward Island for work, and Maud went to live with her very strict grandparents. Feeling lonely and friendless Maud began to write stories and poems, and when she was sixteen one of her poems was published in a newspaper.

  Soon Maud’s writings were being published in a number of places. Even after she left home to become a teacher, Maud kept on writing. She also kept on writing when she had to leave her job to keep house for her widowed grandmother. After writing poems and short stories for quite some time, Maud decided that she wanted to try writing a book. Looking through an old notebook full of ideas and poems, Maud came across a story idea that intrigued her. The story would be about an older couple who are interested in adopting a boy to help with the chores. They end up with a girl by mistake, and Maud decided to call the girl Anne, Anne of Green Gables.

 This Kids Can Read title will not only help novice readers to improve their reading skills, but it will also give them an excellent picture of the life of Lucy Maud Montgomery, whose books have delighted several generations of children and adults.
