L.M. Montgomery achieved international fame in her lifetime, putting
Prince Edward Island and Canada on the world literary map. A prolific
writer, she published some 500 short stories and poems and twenty
novels. Nineteen of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, even
though she lived in Ontario for the last thirty-one years of her life.
Today, Montgomery's novels, journals, letters, short stories, and
poems are read and studied by general readers and scholars from around
the world. Her writing appeals to people who love beauty and to those
who struggle against oppression. In the Second World War, Polish
soldiers were issued copies of Montgomery's novels to take to the front.
A post-war Japan turned to Anne for lessons in optimism and
imagination. A musical based on Montgomery's first best-seller, Anne of
Green Gables, has drawn packed houses for over twenty-five years. Recent
television movies and series based on her novels have had international
success and have made Montgomery a household name once again.
