A propos de l’auteur

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) is a distinguished Canadian author, celebrated primarily for her endearing series of novels featuring Anne Shirley, an imaginative and spirited redhead from the fictional community of Avonlea. Born on Prince Edward Island, Montgomery’s literary career was nurtured amid the pastoral landscapes that would later become a central backdrop for her most famous work. ‘The Complete Unabridged Anne Shirley Stories’ is a compendium that offers readers a chronological journey through the life of her beloved protagonist, from youth in ‘Anne of Green Gables’ (1908) to maturity in ‘Rilla of Ingleside’ (1921). Montgomery’s style is marked by her ability to render the commonplace with a poetic sensitivity, thus breathing a sense of enchantment into the quotidien lives of her characters. Her works, deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of Canada, transcend their regional settings and speak to universal themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of happiness. Over time, they have garnered a widespread following and significant scholarly interest, contributing to the study of children’s literature and feminist literary criticism (Rubio & Waterston, 2008). Montgomery’s literary legacy endures, her stories continuing to charm readers well into the 21st century.
