 To date, Canada has produced only one classic children’s tale to rank with Alice’s Adventures in wonderland and 
the works of Mark Twain; this was Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in 
Clinton, Prince Edward Island. Her mother died soon after her birth, and when her father went to Saskatchewan to assume 
a business position, she moved in with her grandparents in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. There she went to school and 
later qualified to be a teacher.
 Montgomery wrote the Anne books while living in Cavendish and helping her grandmother at the post office. The first 
of the books, Anne of Green Gabbles, was published in 1908, and in the next three years she wrote two sequels. Like 
Montgomery, the heroine of the book is taken in by an elderly couple who lives in the fictional town of Avonlea, and 
Montgomery incorporated many events from her life in Cavendish into the Anne books.
 In 1911, Montgomery married Evan Macdonald and the couple soon moved to Ontario, where she wrote many other 
books. However, it was her first efforts that secured her prominence, and the Anne books are still read all around the world. 7. They are very ___supportive___ of one another. (support)
8. Her interests are very __ diverse __. (diversity)
9. I can’t stand his ___rudeness__. (rude)
10. The holiday was beyond all ___ expectations __. (expect)
