Lucy Maud Montgomery was born to Hugh John Montgomery and Clara Woolner Macneill on November 30, 1874. When she was only 21 months old, she was basically orphaned when her mother died of tuberculosis and her father moved to western Canada and eventually remarried.
She was given a home by her maternal Grandparents, Alexander and Lucy Woolner Macneill, where they lived all together in Cavendish, PEI. This is where L. M. Montgomery passed her childhood years, with the exception of one year when she went to visit her father and his wife in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

I read Anne of Green Gables when I was in elementary school, but I didn’t know anything about the author. I love learning new things about authors, so thanks for sharing.
