Her mother, Clara, died of tuberculosis when Maud was 21 months old. She was raised by her grandparents who were very strict. She had a very lonely childhood. To cope with her loneliness she created imaginary friends and worlds.
She married a minister, Ewan, when she was 34. They had 3 boys. The second baby was still born. Even though she shared so much joy through her stories, she lived a sad life caring for her husband who was mentally ill.
During her lifetime, Montgomery published 20 novels, 500 short stories, an autobiography, and a book of poetry. Her most-loved story was Anne of Green Gables.
