Anne of Green Gables
Montgomery, Lucy Maud
Synopsis "Anne of Green Gables"
Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's novel tells the tale of Anne Shirley, a red-headed orphan mistakenly fostered on Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, two middle aged siblings who run a small farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island. The Cuthberts had 'ordered' an orphan boy to help in the fields, but Anne's talkative nature, her romantic nature and irrepressible optimism gradually charm the staid old couple. She is allowed to stay and is soon popular with her schoolmates, especially her bosom friend Diana, and the handsome and annoying Gilbert Blythe, whom Anne refuses to speak to after he jokingly calls her 'Carrots'. The author lovingly traces Anne's journey through childhood, following her adventures and misadventures from a naïve, melodramatic child to an intelligent, selfless young woman who, despite setbacks, remains unconquerably optimistic about life and the human condition.
(1874-1942) Escritora de origen canadiense. Trabajó como maestra en varias escuelas isleñas y como periodista en diarios regionales.

A esta le seguirían varios títulos, que abarcan la adolescencia, juventud y madurez de la protagonista y la serie de Emily Starr. También publicó colecciones de cuentos, poesías y una autobiografía en la que se advierten semejanzas y diferencias entre la vida de la escritora y las de sus heroínas. Hoy su obra es objeto de investigaciones, conferencias y homenajes en todo el mundo.
