Lucy Maud Montgomery
Lucy Maud Montgomery, (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with "Anne of Green Gables". The book was an immediate success. The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site – namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park.
Anne Shirley
Anne Shirley is a fictional character introduced in the 1908 novel "Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Montgomery wrote in her journal that the idea for Anne's story came from relatives who, planning to adopt an orphaned boy, received a girl instead. Anne Shirley's appearance was inspired by a photograph which Montgomery clipped from the Metropolitan Magazine and kept, unaware of the model's identity as the 1900s Gibson Girl Evelyn Nesbit. Anne Shirley was born in the (fictional) town of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia and spent the earliest years of her childhood there. No specific birthdate is given, but references in later works suggest her date of birth is in March 1865, although a reference in "Anne's House of Dreams" to the Canadian federal election of 1896, when she was approximately 27, could be interpreted to date her birth to approximately the spring of 1869.

The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town. Since its publication, "Anne of Green Gables" has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into at least 36 languages.
Anne of Green Gables (1985 film)
Anne of Green Gables is a 1985 Canadian television mini-series drama film based on the novel of the same name by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, and is the first in a series of four films. The film starred Megan Follows and was produced and directed by Kevin Sullivan for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It was released theatrically in Iran, Israel, Europe, and Japan. The film aired on CBC Television as a two-part miniseries on December 1, 1985. Both parts of the film were among the highest-rated programs of any genre ever to air on a Canadian television network. On February 17, 1986, the film aired on PBS in the United States on the series "WonderWorks".
Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel
Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel is a 1987 Canadian television miniseries film. It is a sequel to "Anne of Green Gables", and the second of a tetralogy of films. The miniseries dramatizes material from several books in the eight-novel "Anne" series by Lucy Maud Montgomery; they are "Anne of Avonlea" (Book Two), "Anne of the Island" (Book Three) and "Anne of Windy Poplars" (Book Four). As well, the TV film introduces several characters and issues not present in the books. The miniseries aired in four hour-long installments, in May and June 1987, on the Disney Channel as "Anne of Avonlea: The Continuing Story of Anne of Green Gables", and in two 150-minute installments, in December 1987 on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and in March 1988 on PBS, as "Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel".
Green Gables (Prince Edward Island)
Green Gables is the name of a 19th-century farm in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, and is one of the most notable literary landmarks in Canada. The Green Gables farm and its surroundings are the setting for the popular "Anne of Green Gables" novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The site is also known as Green Gables Heritage Place. The house was designated a National Historic Site in 1985 and the complex is located within Prince Edward Island National Park. The Green Gables farm was owned by the MacNeill family, who were cousins of author Lucy Maud Montgomery. The farm's name is derived from the rich dark green paint of the gables on the farmhouse.
Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story
Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story was a 2000 mini-series television film, and the third installment in a series of four films. The film was highly anticipated among fans of "Anne of Green Gables". It borrowed characters from the "Anne of Green Gables" novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It served as a sequel to two mini-series produced by CBC Television in the 1980s. It was the most controversial and heavily criticized of the three film adaptations written and produced by Kevin Sullivan. "The Continuing Story" was criticized principally because unlike the 1985 "Anne of Green Gables" and its 1987 sequel "Anne of Avonlea", the screenplay was not based upon Montgomery's works, but instead used Montgomery's characters in a largely original World War I story by Sullivan and Laurie Pearson.
