Lucy Maude Montgomery, who
wrote the Canadian classic, was
born at Clifton Corner, Prince
Edward Island, on November 30,
1874. Here her father ran a
country store which for many
years was a landmark, later
destroyed by fire.
When Lucy Maude was twenty-
one months old her mother died,
her father moved to Western
Canada, and she was left in the
care of her grandparents. She was
a shy and imaginative child, given
to day-dreaming. As she had no
childhood companions, she
invented some for herself and
would converse with them as she
would an ordinary 'person:
At twelve years old she
submitted a story in a competition
arranged by a Montreal
newspaper. This took first
honours. At fifteen, she began
seeing her poems printred in the
Daily Patriot in, Charlottetown. In
June, 1894, she received her
teacher's licence and began her
duties as teacher at Bideford. The
next year, she took a selected
course in English literature at
Dalhousie College, H alifax, Nova
Scotia.
By 1901, she was making a
small but adequate income
although nine out of ten of her
manuscripts were being returned.
In the fall of the same year she
went to Halifax to become a staff
memb er of the Daily; however
her grandmother needed her and
she returned to Cavendish to stay
,with her for nine unbroken years.
It was during this period, 1904 to
be exact, that the ad in the
newspaper about an aged couple
that were sent a girl by mistake
from an orphanage, inspired Lucy
Maude to create "Anne".
The book written in the
evenings of ter her household
duties were done, took eighteen
months to complete. She sent it to
five publishers. Four returned it
with the usual printed rejection
slips and the fifth damned it with
only faint praise. She put "Anne"
in an old bonnet box in a clothes
closet where she later came
across it one winter's day when
-rummaging. She tried again
sending it, this time to.L. C. Page
& Company of Boston where it
was accepted and appeared in the
American book shops in June of
1908.
The of "Anne of Green
Gables" was phenomenal. In a
few short weeks, the author had
sky-rocketed to fame. Story after
story • appeared, each well-rec-
eived and adding to the author's
high standing.
On July 5th, 1911, Lucy Maude
was married to the Reverand
Ewan MacDonald. They settled
at Leaksdale, Ontario and for' the
n ext twenty-four years, she was
the busy wife, of a busy clergyman
and mother of two children.
Luray Maude Montgomery
died in April of 1942, and was
buried in Cavendish, the home of
her childhoo.
Many years later, Don
Harron and Norman Campbell
adapted "Anne" as a stage
musical for the Charlottetown
Festival in P.E.I.
It's , their version that the
Huron County Playhouse ,will be
presenting at S.D.H.S.
