About the author

Lucy Maud Montgomery was a Canadian author whose novels, stories, essays and poems made her one of the most widely read writers in Canadian literary history. Publishing under the name L. M. Montgomery, she achieved international recognition with the novel Anne of Green Gables, released in 1908, which quickly became a bestseller and introduced readers to the imaginative orphan Anne Shirley. The success of the book transformed Montgomery from a schoolteacher and magazine contributor into a celebrated literary figure whose work reached audiences far beyond Canada. Raised on Prince Edward Island, she drew deeply on its landscapes, rural communities, and storytelling traditions, turning the island into the setting for many of her novels. The popularity of Anne of Green Gables led to numerous sequels, including Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island, establishing a beloved series that followed Anne from childhood to adulthood. Montgomery continued to write steadily throughout her life, producing twenty novels and more than a thousand short stories poems and essays. Her fiction often centered on young women, personal growth, and the emotional ties between people and place, combining gentle humor with reflections on memory, imagination, and belonging. Although she enjoyed enormous popularity, Montgomery also faced personal difficulties, including long periods of depression and the strain of caring for her husband, a Presbyterian minister who struggled with mental illness. Writing became both a profession and a refuge, allowing her to transform memories of childhood and observation of everyday life into vivid storytelling. In addition to the Anne series, she created other notable works, including the Emily novels and several stand alone stories that explored identity, creativity, and attachment to home. Her books were translated widely and attracted devoted readers around the world, helping shape the international image of Prince Edward Island as a place of pastoral beauty and warm community life. Scholars later studied her extensive journals letters and manuscripts, which revealed the complex inner life behind the cheerful tone of many of her books. By the time of her death in 1942, Montgomery had become one of the most successful and influential authors in Canadian literature. Her stories about imagination, resilience, and the search for belonging continue to inspire readers of all ages, and Anne Shirley remains one of the most recognizable characters in children's fiction. Through generations of readers, Montgomery's work has encouraged appreciation for storytelling, nature, and the emotional richness of ordinary life. Her legacy also includes a vast body of diaries and correspondence that document the challenges faced by a professional woman writer in the early twentieth century. Institutions such as the L. M. Montgomery Institute have continued to examine her influence on literature culture and tourism, particularly on Prince Edward Island, where sites associated with her fiction attract visitors from many countries. Adaptations of Anne of Green Gables for film, television, and theatre have introduced new audiences to her stories, ensuring that her characters remain part of global popular culture. Though critical opinion once dismissed her as merely a writer for children, later scholarship recognized the depth of her themes and the enduring craft of her storytelling. Today she is remembered as a central figure in Canadian literature whose imaginative vision gave voice to the beauty of rural life while celebrating the hopes of young dreamers who search for belonging.

A book to always remember

When I started reading Anne of Green Gables, I had no idea what it was about. It opened up to me like a beautiful rose, as page after page taught me about childhood, about love, about sacrifice, and about heartache. I have never read a book so moving, so completely breathtaking in all its windings from one emotion to the next. I have only ever read one other book that moved me so completely. I shall remember the characters in this series of books for the rest of my life, and I know for certain that I will revisit Anne and her incredible family many, many times throughout the rest of my life, because for me they are like dear friends.

If you have the chance, read this book series, because it is the one way you will see thru another person's eyes so completely and so clearly, in a way you could never imagine.

Overall Rating: 4.25

Anne of Green Gables ~ 4.5 Stars
I didn't expect such a dark turn in the story; it really hurt my heart. Thankfully, all three characters realized how much they needed and loved each other. I'm eager to see what lies ahead for Anne.

Anne of Avonlea ~ 4.0 Stars
Despite the tragedy, life must continue, and we see Anne navigating the balance between adult responsibilities and childlike musings.

Anne of the Island ~ 4.o Stars
In the illustrious lyrics of Lizzo, "It's about damn time!" Of course, Anne, being obstinate, got in the way of what everyone else expected would happen. However, this turned out for the best, as there is no question now.

Anne of Windy Poplar ~ 3.5 Stars
This entry feels more like filler than essential. However, it's lovely to see Anne in her element and how she touches those who come into her life.

Anne's House of Dreams ~ 4.0 Stars
Whenever the story feels overly optimistic, we are confronted with harsh realities and tragedy. However, Anne and others continue, most times even stronger than before.

Anne of Ingleside ~ 5.0 Stars
The focus of the stories shifts from Anne's experiences to those of her children. Just like their mother, each Blythe child embarks on various adventures and faces different challenges—even if many of them are primarily imagined. Even the more logical children, who take after their father, occasionally find themselves swept up in flights of fancy. We also get a brief reminder that their life together isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but it is definitely filled with love.

Rainbow Valley ~ 4.0 Stars
This otherwise enjoyable installment is marred by casual racism. Ms. Montgomery, why did you allow a child character to claim she was treated like a "N****r"? Additionally, why did you have a character mock missionary efforts by referring to Africans as "black heathens"? I was enjoying this book until those moments disrupted the narrative, and now it feels forever tarnished. There is just one more book left in this series, and it will be the last one I read from this author.

Rilla of Ingleside ~ 5.0 Stars
What a way to conclude this series! Every emotion possible was captured in this final installment.

Anne of Green Gables Legendary Story

This 8-book adventure was extremely interesting and educational, taking the reader through Anne’s life from 1876 through 1919 (ages 11 through 53). The characters are fictional; but, historical references make the story of Anne, her family, and her friends most engaging. (The Netflix series entitled “Anne with an E” is entertaining and well produced and directed.)

A True Classic

LM Montgomery is such a gifted writer. I am so happy to revisit these pages that I read so long ago as a child. Classic, brilliant story telling to be treasured for ages.

[Meghan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I finished the first book in the set, Anne of Green Gables, and found it just as enjoyable as I did when I first read it decades ago. It is so different to read it as an adult. Anne's actions and earnestness made me laugh out loud.

My most favorite books ever since I was a child!

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

I never read this when I was younger, but I so enjoyed it. Ann with an e is such a wonderful character and the writing is so beautifully descriptive of the countryside and landscape. A charming array of characters and a lovely cosy story line. Adorable.
