Known to her friends as Maud and to readers as L.M. Montgomery, the author of Anne of Green Gables had a peripatetic youth, moving from Prince Edward Island to Saskatchewan and back. While caring for her aging grandmother, she wrote the first novel about the orphan Anne Shirley and her adoptive home on Prince Edward Island. That was 1908; this is the centenary of the publication of Anne of Green Gables..
