Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Montgomery, L. M. (Lucy Maud), 1874-1942 : Lucy Maud Montgomery, was born and raised in P.E.I., where she lived until her marriage in 1911 to the Rev. Ewan Macdonald, when she moved with him to Ontario. She began her writing career on Prince Edward Island, writing for Canadian and American children's magazines, and published her first novel, Anne of Green Gables, which was to bring her international fame, in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was published by L.C. Page and Company of Boston, Mass., who published another seven of her books before she left them in 1917. In 1919, after suing L.C. Page for royalties owing, L.M. Montgomery entered into an agreement with the firm for one last book, an agreement which resulted in another court battle over the book, Further Chronicles of Avonlea. L.M. Montgomery published some twenty books during her lifetime and was awarded the O.B.E. in 1935. She died in Toronto.
