The Wheel of Things

Maud Montgomery is Canada`s best-known writer of children`s fiction. Anne of Green Gables captures people`s imaginations as easily now as it did when she burst upon the world in 1908. L.M. Montgomery grew up in Prince Edward Island and she set her best-loved stories there. She worked briefly as a journalist, but family responsibilities shaped her life as a young single woman. After her marriage she moved to Ontario. There she lived a life of contradictions -- in private, the romantic, successful, imaginative author; in public, the strict and dutiful minister`s wife. Using diaries and letters this biography tells the compelling and moving story of this remarkable woman`s life. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
