Lucy Maud Montgomery

Je autorkou jednej z najobľúbenejších dievčenských postáv v literatúre, Anny Shirleyovej, čiže Anny zo Zeleného domu.

Lucy Maud Montgomeryová bola kanadská spisoveteľka, narodila sa 30. Novembra v roku 1874, v Cliftone, na Ostrove princa Edwarda v Kanade. Jej rodičia boli Hugh John Montgomery a Clara Woolner Macneill. Keď mala Lucy Maud necelé dva roky, umrela jej matka na tuberkulózu. Lucin otec sa rozhodol, že sa presťahuje do západnej Kanady, kde sa neskôr znovu oženil. Lucy zostala na farme svojich prarodičov v Cavendishi. Tu ako 9-ročná začala písať prózu.

V školskom roku 1893 – 1894 študovala na Prince of Wales College a získala učiteľskú licenciu. Potom, v roku 1898, začala učiť na škole Lower Bedeyue. Vtom istom roku jej zomrel starý otec. Hneď sa vrátila do Cavendishu, aby sa starala o svoju babičku. Zostala tam trinásť rokov, okrem rokov 1901 až 1902. Pracovala ako korektorka pre The Daily Echo v Halifaxe. Počas tohto pobytu písala aj tvorila svoje knižky.

V roku 1905 napísala svoju prvú knihu Anna zo Zeleného domu. Poslala ju do mnohých vydavateľstiev, ale vo všetkých jej ju odmietli. Rukopis tejto knihy uložila do krabice a zabudla naň. Znova ho našla v roku 1907 a to už mala väčšie šťastie. Našla vydavateľa, ktorý zariadil, aby Anna Shirleyová uvidela svetlo sveta v knižnej podobe. O rok neskôr sa stalo.

Keď v roku 1911 zomrela Lucy babička, vydala sa za reverenda Ewena MacDonalda, s ktorým bola tajne zasnúbená od roku 1906. Spolu sa presťahovali do Leaskdale v Ontariu. Tu sa im neskôr narodili ich tri deti. Chester narodil sa v r. 1912, Hugh sa narodil mŕtvy v r. 1914 a Stuart v r. 1915. Lucy Maud tu napísala väčšinu svojich kníh.

Po svadbe už nikdy na ostrove Princa Edwarda nežila. Chodievala tam už len na návštevu. Svojimi príbehmi preslávila tento ostrov. Odohrávali sa tu všetky okrem jedného.

Lucy Maud Montgomeryová zomrela v Toronte 24. apríla v roku 1942, ale jej telo bolo pochované na ostrove Princa Edwarda v Cevendishi.
