L.M. Montgomery

Excerpt:
Everyone probably knows L.M. Montgomery by her Anne of Green Gables, the talkative orphaned redhead (No, not Annie ala "the sun will come out tomorrow") who captured the hearts of Avonlea. While many literature academics poo-poo the Anne of Green Gables collection as merely for little girls, I find that the novels grow more poignant the older I become. While the stories are primarily a bildungsroman (a tale of growth) for Anne, Montgomery also reveals a view into Canadian life before and during WWII.
