Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) debuted in literature, telling a surprisingly simple story. It begins with the fact that the elderly and lonely Matthew and Meryl Cuthbert decided to take the boy from the shelter so that he could help them with the household. However, it so happened that on the farm was a red-haired, freckled girl Ann Shirley. It took time for the people of Avonley on Prince Edward Island to open their hearts to her. But readers fell in love with the heroine of "Green Roofs" immediately and forever. The book brought unprecedented fame to the novice author and inspired him to write seven more. All of them were published by Folio Publishing House.
