About the authors
Lucy Maud Montgomery had her first poem published at the age of 15 and after completing college she worked for a short time as a journalist before becoming a teacher. In 1908 Anne of Green Gables was published to huge acclaim with Anne of Avonlea coming soon after. Many successful novels followed but by late 1930s, due to personal troubles, illness and depression, she stopped writing. Lucy Maud Montgomery died in 1942 and was buried on her beloved Prince Edward Island.

Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was born in England but moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, with her family in 1865. She began writing stories at an early age and quickly achieved success as a novelist. The Secret Garden was inspired by a real rose garden she enjoyed during one of her many visits to England.
