Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE better known as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian writer most famous for novel sequels starting with Anne of Green Gables in 1908. The novel turned into majorly popular. Montgomery became widely known for her main heroine, a homeless young girl named Anne Shirley, and made her internationally acclaimed. The first book was ensued by a number of volumes with Anne as the leading female protagonist. Montgomery continued to circulate 20 books and 530 short tales, 500 verses, and 30 articles. Many of her stories took place in Prince Edward Island, and places in Canada's littlest province came to be a fictional lure and prevalent tourist destination; which was called as the farm of Green Gables, the origin of Prince Edward Island National Park. Montgomery was one of the most successful novelists of all time mostly because of her proficiency in combining fun and bleakness.

But seasons pass, nothing is forever – and soon it will be time for the Story Girl to leave her good friends on Prince Edward Island, friends with whom she has walked the golden road of youth.

"I've thought of something amusing for the winter," I said as we drew into a half–circle around the glorious wood–fire in Uncle Alec's kitchen.It had been a day of wild November wind, closing down into a wet, eerie twilight. Outside, the wind was shrilling at the windows and around the eaves, and the rain was playing on the roof. The old willow at the gate was writhing in the storm and the orchard was a place of weird music, born of all the tears and fears that haunt the halls of night. But little we cared for the gloom and the loneliness of the outside world; we kept them at bay with the light of the fire and the laughter of our young lips.We had been having a splendid game of Blind–Man's Buff. That is, it had been splendid at first; but later the fun went out of it because we found that Peter was, of malice prepense, allowing himself to be caught too easily, in order that he might have the pleasure of catching Felicity—which he never failed to do, no matter how tightly his eyes were bound. What remarkable goose said that love is blind? Love can see through five folds of closely–woven muffler with ease!
