Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, on November 30, 1874. Her mother died when she was a toddler and her devastated father asked her grandparents to raise her. Her childhood years in Cavendish were very lonely. Lucy's solution at this early age was to create imaginary worlds and people them with imaginary friends. Her creativity was beginning to establish itself in her life. With her studying days over Lucy began a career as a teacher and worked at various Prince Edward Island schools. It was soon obvious to her that she did not enjoy teaching but the benefit was that it gave her time to write. That was now her real passion. Much of her early career was spent writing short stories. Indeed in the decade from 1897 magazines and newspapers published over 100 stories from the prolific young writer. In 1908, Lucy published her first book, the classic, Anne of Green Gables. It was an immediate success and quickly established her career. During her lifetime, Lucy published 20 novels, 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Aware of her fame, by 1920 Lucy began editing and recopying her journals, reframing her life as she wanted it remembered. Lucy Maud Montgomery died on April 24, 1942 in Toronto. A note was found beside her bed, "I have lost my mind by spells and I do not dare think what I may do in those spells. May God forgive me and I hope everyone else will forgive me even if they cannot understand. My position is too awful to endure and nobody realizes it. What an end to a life in which I tried always to do my best." The official cause of death was a coronary thrombosis.

"Tras realizar una visita a Avonlea, Ana vuelve a Ingleside, la que es ahora su casa. Han pasado seis aänos desde que ella y Gilbert dejaran atrâas la Casa de sus Sueänos y el joven matrimonio se ha transformado en toda una familia con cinco hijos: James Matthew Jem, que ahora tiene ocho aänos; Walter, un aäno menor y con una imaginaciâon desbordante heredada de su madre; Ana Nan y Diana Di, dos mellizas de cuatro aänos que no pueden ser mâas diferentes entre sâi, y Shirley, el benjamâin y favorito de Susan Baker, el ama de llaves de la casa.

Sono passati sette anni, ormai, dalle vicende della Casa dei Sogni. In questo sesto libro della serie Anna ormai è una donna sposata con una famiglia numerosa: Jem, Walter, le gemelle (che però non si somigliano per niente) Di e Nan, Shirley e la piccola Rilla in arrivo. L'arrivo dell'acidissima zia Mary Maria scompiglierà un po' le carte in tavola. Le peripezie, i sogni, le avventure e le delusioni dei bambini renderanno sempre più movimentata la sua esistenza. Ma sarà il ritorno di Christine, ex spasimante di Gilbert dei tempi dell'università, a dare del vero filo da torcere ad Anna e a farle mettere in dubbio la solidità del suo matrimonio. Riuscirà anche stavolta a superare ogni ostacolo? Il sesto libro della saga di Anna dai Capelli Rossi.

C'è una nuova famiglia a Glen St. Mary, il paese in cui Anna vive con Gilbert e i suoi bambini. Sono i Meredith. Papà John Meredith, distratto e sempre con la testa tra le nuvole, è il nuovo pastore della chiesa presbiteriana, e poi ci sono quattro figli: Jerry, Faith, Una e Carl, che diventano immediatamente amici per la pelle dei figli di Anna. Ma la mamma è morta quattro anni fa e senza una mamma a guidarli è facile che quattro ragazzini vivaci e impulsivi come i piccoli Meredith, che sono un po' anticonformisti, che amano giocare nel cimitero o studiare gli insetti, che dimenticano addirittura di indossare le calze o che ospitano una trovatella sconosciuta come la povera (e molto fantasiosa) Mary Vance, suscitino lo scompiglio e scandalizzino una piccola società chiusa e un po' ipocrita di provincia. Ma la Valle dell'Arcobaleno custodisce segreti e sogni, e lì tutto sembra possibile. Perfino che papà incontri una dolce signorina che abita in cima a una collina piena di vento con una sorella un po' bisbetica e un gatto nero. Ed è possibile che questa dolce signorina possa trovare la soluzione giusta. Il settimo libro della serie di Anna dai Capelli Rossi

Lucy Maud Montgomery, OBE (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site - namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935. Montgomery's work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide. Early life: Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) in Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Her mother, Clara Woolner Macneill Montgomery, died of tuberculosis when Lucy was twenty-one months old. Stricken with grief, her father, Hugh John Montgomery, placed Lucy in the custody of her maternal grandparents. When Lucy was seven, he moved to Prince Albert, North-West Territories (now Prince Albert, Saskatchewan). From then on Lucy was raised by her grandparents, Alexander Marquis Macneill and Lucy Woolner Macneill, in the nearby community of Cavendish. Montgomery's early life in Cavendish was very lonely. Despite having relatives nearby, much of her childhood was spent alone. Montgomery credits this time of her life, during which she created imaginary friends and worlds to cope with her loneliness, with developing her creativity. The population of Prince Edward Island was nearly evenly split between Catholics and Protestants. Montgomery inherited her ancestors' Protestant values of hard work, thrift, and modesty. In 1887, at age 13, Montgomery wrote in her diary that she had "early dreams of future fame." She submitted a poem for publication, writing, "I saw myself the wonder of my schoolmates - a little local celebrity." Upon rejection, Montgomery wrote, "Tears of disappointment would come in spite of myself, as I crept away to hide the poor crumpled manuscript in the depths of my trunk." She would later write, "down, deep down under all the discouragement and rebuff, I knew I would 'arrive' some day." After completing her education in Cavendish, Montgomery spent one year (1890) in Prince Albert with her father and her stepmother, Mary Ann McRae.While in Prince Albert, Montgomery's first work, a poem entitled "On Cape LeForce,"was published in the Charlottetown paper, The Daily Patriot. She was as excited about this as she was about her return to her beloved Prince Edward Island in 1891. Before returning to Cavendish, Montgomery had another article published in the newspaper, describing her visit to a First Nations camp on the Great Plains. The return to Cavendish was a great relief to her. Her time in Prince Albert was unhappy, for she did not get along with her stepmother. According to Lucy, her father's marriage was not a happy one. In 1893, she attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown and obtained a teacher's license. Montgomery loved Prince Edward Island, writing that she was "very near to a kingdom of ideal beauty. Between it and me hung only a very thin veil." During solitary walks through the peaceful island countryside, Montgomery started to experience what she called "the flash" - a moment of tranquility and clarity when she felt an emotional ecstasy, and was inspired by the awareness of a higher spiritual power running through nature.

The Alpine Path: The Story of My Career (1917) by L. M. Montgomery. "The Alpine Path" of the title refers to the long climb she had to achieve success as a writer. She began in childhood, and never wavered in her resolve. Her ambition was to become an accomplished professional writer-she never desired fame or greatness, and the remarkable success that came to her with the publication of Anne of Green Gables. "When the Editor of Everywoman's World asked me to write "The Story of My Career," I smiled with a little touch of incredulous amusement. My career? Had I a career? Was not - should not - a "career" be something splendid, wonderful, spectacular at the very least, something varied and exciting? Could my long, uphill struggle, through many quiet, uneventful years, be termed a "career"? It had never occurred to me to call it so; and, on first thought, it did not seem to me that there was much to be said about that same long, monotonous struggle. But it appeared to be a whim of the aforesaid editor that I should say what little there was to be said; and in those same long years I acquired the habit of accommodating myself to the whims of editors to such an inveterate degree that I have not yet been able to shake it off. So I shall cheerfully tell my tame story..."

Anne Of The Island is the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery about Anne Shirley.Anne of the Island was published in 1915, seven years after the bestselling Anne of Green Gables. In the continuing story of Anne Shirley, Anne attends Redmond College in Kingsport, where she is studying for her BA. Plot summary Anne leaves Green Gables and her work as a teacher in Avonlea to pursue her original dream (which she gave up in Anne of Green Gables) of taking further education at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. Gilbert Blythe and Charlie Sloane enroll as well, as does Anne's friend from Queen's Academy, Priscilla Grant. During her first week of school, Anne befriends Philippa Gordon, a beautiful girl whose frivolous ways charm her. Philippa (Phil for short) also happens to be from Anne's birthplace in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia. The girls spend their first year in boardinghouses and decide to set up house thereafter in a lovely cottage called Patty's Place, near campus. The girls enter their second year at Redmond happily ensconced at Patty's Place, along with Queen's classmate Stella Maynard and her "Aunt Jimsie" (their chaperone), while life continues in Avonlea. Diana Barry becomes engaged to Fred Wright and Davy and Dora continue to keep Marilla busy. Midway through their college years, Gilbert Blythe, who has always loved Anne, proposes to her but Anne rejects him; although she and Gilbert are very close, she holds sentimental fantasies about true love (all featuring a tall, dark, handsome, inscrutable hero) and does not recognize her true feelings for Gilbert. Gilbert leaves, his heart broken, and the two drift apart. Anne's childhood friend Ruby Gillis dies of consumption very soon after finding her own true love. Anne later welcomes the courtship of Roy Gardner, a darkly handsome Redmond student who showers her with attention and poetic gestures. However, when he proposes after two years, Anne abruptly realizes that Roy does not really belong in her life, and that she had only been in love with the idea of him as the embodiment of her childhood ideal. Anne is so ashamed in how she treated Roy that she feels her entire Redmond experience may have been spoiled. She returns to Green Gables, a "full-fledged B.A.", but finds herself a bit lonely. Diana gives birth to her first child, and Jane Andrews, an old school friend, marries a Winnipeg millionaire. Having received an offer to be the principal of the Summerside school in the fall, Anne is keeping herself occupied over the summer when she learns that Gilbert is gravely ill with typhoid fever. With shock, Anne finally realizes how deep her true feelings for Gilbert are, and endures a white night of fear that he will leave this world without knowing that she does care. In the morning, Anne gratefully learns that Gilbert will survive. Gilbert recovers over the summer, bolstered by a letter from Phil assuring him that there is really nothing between Anne and Roy. After several visits to Green Gables, Gilbert and Anne take a late summer walk in Hester Gray's garden, and finally become engaged.....

Qui vive la famiglia Lesley, la più antica e nobile dell'intera isola, e qui vede la luce Marigold. Una bambina davvero speciale, per la quale il mondo è sempre qualcosa di interessante e magico. In quello scenario fatto di natura seducente, chiari di luna, boschi di abeti e onde scintillanti sotto il sole, Marigold alimenta la sua fantasia e i suoi sogni circondata da chi ama: la Mamma, Nonna Vecchia, Nonna Giovane, zia Marigold e soprattuto Sylvia, la sua amica fatata. Tra incontri imprevedibili e incidenti di percorso, Marigold cresce senza mai smettere di trovare il mondo "interessante" anche se, forse, un po' meno magico.

The Story Girl is a 1911 novel by Canadian author L. M. Montgomery. It narrates the adventures of a group of young cousins and their friends who live in a rural community on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The book is narrated by Beverley, who together with his brother Felix, has come to live with his Aunt Janet and Uncle Alec King on their farm while their father travels for business. They spend their leisure time with their cousins Dan, Felicity and Cecily King, hired boy Peter Craig, neighbor Sara Ray and another cousin, Sara Stanley. The latter is the Story Girl of the title, and she entertains the group with fascinating tales including various events in the King family history. The book is actually two stories; those of Beverley King and his friends, and the tales told by the St If the girls picture is in your house, she has took over and it will take centuries for her to move out Montgomery had grown up in a Scottish-Canadian family, where stories, legends, and myths from Scotland were often told, and she drew upon this background in creating the character of Stanley, who excels at the telling of tales. The Canadian scholar Elizabeth Waterson noted at the book begins with "...the Story Girl winning the ultimate accolade in the eyes of the Scottish community, when her facility at telling an old story squeezes a five dollar donation out of an old curmudgeon".Stanley in her first scene stands "gay and graceful" and promises she can tell some "witch stories" that "will freeze the blood in your veins". Unlike Montgomery's better known character Anne Shirley, whose wild, improbable stories are clearly those of a child while her later stories are those of a young adult, the Story Girl is at the age of 14, an accomplished story-teller whose achievements are beyond her age.The character of Peter Craig bears a strong resemblance to Herman Leard, the great love of Montgomery's life, the man she wished she had married, but did not. Sara the story girl wins the love of Peter, and bests her more pretty rival Felicity for his affections not through her looks, but rather because of her sense of humor, her ability to see what others cannot not, and a mystical sense of the beauty of the world. Montgomery wrote about the difference between the two: "Her face was like a rose of youth. But when the Story Girl spoke, we forgot to look at Felicity".The Story girl has a somewhat dreamy quality not only to her stories, but herself as she says "I'd like a dress of moonshine with stars for buttons". At the time she was writing the novel in 1909-10, Montgomery was engaged to a Presbyterian minister whom she did not love, the Reverend Ewen Macdonald, whom she was to marry in 1911, and in the book, Montgomery has the characters give mock-sermons that ridiculed the speaking styles of Presbyterian ministers. Montgomery knew when she wed Macdonald that she would leave Prince Edward Island for Ontario, and at the time she started writing the book in the summer of 1909 was overcome with nostalgia for her teenage years.Montgomery drew upon her diaries of her life to teenager as inspiration for the novel....

Anne of Green Gables is beyond question the most popular girl heroine in recent years. Poets, statesmen, humorists, critics, and the great public have lost their hearts to the charming Anne. Anne of Green Gables is not a book of a season, to attain a wide popularity for a brief space and sink into oblivion with many another "best seller," but its literary merit is such that it is bound to have a permanent place in literature and continue to increase in popularity with each succeeding season."In Anne of Green Gables you will find the dearest and most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice." - Mark Twain in a letter lo Francis Wilson.

Chronicles of Avonlea is a collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery, related to the Anne of Green Gables series. It features an abundance of stories relating to the fictional Canadian village of Avonlea, and was first published in 1912.

Anne of Avonlea is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It was first published in 1909. Plot summary: Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. The book soon introduces Anne's new and problematic neighbor, Mr. Harrison, and his foul-mouthed parrot, as well as the twins, Davy and Dora. They are the children of Marilla's third cousin and she takes them in when their mother dies while their uncle is out of the country. Dora is a nice, well-behaved girl, somewhat boring in her perfect behaviour. Davy is Dora's exact opposite, much more of a handful and constantly getting into many scrapes. They are initially meant to stay only a short time, but the twins' uncle postpones his return to collect the twins and then eventually dies. Both Anne and Marilla are relieved (Marilla inwardly, of course) to know the twins will remain with them. Other characters introduced are some of Anne's new pupils, such as Paul Irving, an American boy living with his grandmother in Avonlea while his widower father works in the States. He delights Anne with his imagination and whimsical ways, which are reminiscent of Anne's in her childhood. Later in the book, Anne and her friends meet Miss Lavendar Lewis, a sweet but lonely lady in her 40s who had been engaged to Paul's father 25 years before, but parted from him after a disagreement. At the end of the book, Mr. Irving returns and he and Miss Lavendar marry. Anne discovers the delights and troubles of being a teacher, takes part in the raising of Davy and Dora, and organizes the A.V.I.S. (Avonlea Village Improvement Society) together with Gilbert, Diana, and Fred Wright, though their efforts to improve the town are not always successful. The Society takes up a subscription to repaint an old town hall, only to have the painter provide the wrong color of paint, turning the hall into a bright blue eyesore. Towards the end of the book, Mrs. Rachel Lynde's husband dies and Mrs. Lynde moves in with Marilla at Green Gables, allowing Anne to go to college at last. She and Gilbert make plans to attend Redmond College in the fall. This book sees Anne maturing slightly, even though she still cannot avoid getting into a number of her familiar scrapes, as only Anne can-some of which include selling her neighbor's cow (having mistaken it for her own), or getting stuck in a broken duck house roof while peeping into a pantry window....
