| Publisher Description: Lucy Maud Montgomery is specifically written to meet the needs of adolescents and adults who are reluctant readers. The photographs, maps, and illustrations reflect the text, making the words easy to decode. This high-interest, low-vocabulary biography is ideal for English as a Second Language or adult basic education students. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942), the creator of Anne of Green Gables and author of more than 20 books, is a household name the world over. When Maud was 21 months old, her mother died of tuberculosis and she was raised by her grandparents. As an only child living with an elderly couple, Montgomery found companionship in her imagination, nature, books, and especially writing. Her passion for writing gave her strength to face the many difficult times in her life. |
