Lucy Maud Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables [with Headphones] (Anne of Green Gables Novels (Playaway)) Lucy Maud Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling book by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, (As shown on the cover of this Kindle book) clipped from an American magazine and pasted on the wall above her writing desk, as the model for Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
