Did you know she published over 20 novels and 500 short stories in her lifetime? Talk about a literary powerhouse!
Now, let's dive into Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. This timeless classic tells the story of a red-haired, freckle-faced orphan named Anne Shirley, who is mistakenly sent to live with an elderly brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, on their farm, Green Gables. What was supposed to be a boy to help with the chores turned out to be the most imaginative and spirited girl, who changed their lives forever.
Here's a fun fact: Montgomery received rejection letter after rejection letter but finally found a publisher who believed in her story. Since then, the book has sold over 50 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 36 languages. Can you imagine a world without Anne Shirley and her shenanigans?
