Lucy Maud Montgomery(LMM) was born 30 November 1874 in Clifton (now New London), PEI. Lucy Maud Montgomery is arguably Canada’s most widely read author. Her first novel, Anne of Green Gables(1908), became an instant best-seller. It has remained in print for more than a century, making the character of Anne Shirley a mythic icon of Canadian culture. Our “All things Anne” Gift Box contains:
– Limited edition LMM pen created from the wood of an apple tree that grew on LMM’s childhood homestead in Cavendish, PEI, and where she wrote Anne of Green Gables
– Photo card and envelope of “Green Gables”, Cavendish, PEI 4″x6″

With the purchase of this box you’ll also receive an uncirculated Canadian Dollar coin. Montgomery is the first author to ever be featured on a Canadian coin. The coin is a fitting tribute to a writer whose most famous character is indelibly engraved in our collective imagination.
