Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) grew up on Prince Edward Island with her grandparents, trained as a teacher, and wrote Anne of Green Gables in the evenings while working in a post office. It was rejected by several publishers before appearing in 1908, and it made her famous for the rest of her life.
