Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Author of Anne of Green Gables Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Before she grew up to be a best-selling author whose books captivated the hearts of readers throughout the world, young Lucy Maud Montgomery was raised by her strict grandparents on Prince Edward Island in Canada.

Review:

"A good introduction to the life of a Canadian writer who is beloved around the world." Booklist

Review:

"The charming, folk-art-style illustrations are reminiscent of those in Wallner's other books about remarkable women." School Library Journal

Review:

"The ample illustrations with just several sentences or short paragraphs on each page create a quiet and lovely rendition of the author's life." Children's Literature

Review:

"Wallner's telling keeps the biography simple, though her pictures are nicely detailed and full of color, pattern and line. She infuses the story with Montgomery's emotions by quoting from her writing." Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Wallner has written and illustrated many biographies for children about remarkable women, such as Grandma Moses, Abigail Adams, and Beatrix Potter. She is inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery, who always believed in her writing and never gave up. She and her husband live in Mexico.
