This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1916
and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.
'The Watchman & Other Poems' is a collection of poems by this famous
writer of fiction. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874,
New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her
mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two
and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of
wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first
full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant
success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a
regular on the best-seller list and an international household name.
Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.
