Against the odds, and battling severe mental and physical health issues,
Lucy Maud Montgomery published twenty-three books over a thirty year
period. Her stories are still enjoyed around the world and have been
immortalized on film, television and stage. The spirited story of
orphaned Anne was inspired by the natural beauty of Prince Edward Island
and Lucy Maud Montgomery's writing still resonates with readers today.
Updated with the latest research -- encompassing the last few years of
Lucy Maud Montgomery's life and her death by suicide -- and beautifully
illustrated in this new edition with 100 photographs, this biography
looks beyond the surface at the story of Anne's creator and her often
difficult life.
