Autor

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was a distinguished Canadian author, best known for her enchanting tales that capture the essence of rural life on Prince Edward Island. Born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton (now New London), Montgomery was raised by her grandparents after her mother's death and her father's departure. Her literary journey began when she started to keep a journal and became a teacher, although her passion always remained in writing. Montgomery's career took flight with the publication of 'Anne of Green Gables' in 1908, a book that would not just seal her prominence but also introduce readers to her beloved province and its spirited inhabitants. Her writing style is characterized by its vivid depictions of landscape, the incorporation of strong, independent female protagonists, and a fondness for domestic life imbued with a sense of optimism. 'Magic for Marigold', albeit less famous than her Anne series, is a testament to Montgomery's skill in crafting rich, character-driven stories that continue to resonate with readers. It is a narrative filled with whimsy and poignancy, exploring themes of imagination and family dynamics. This, like many of her works, illustrates Montgomery's ability to blend realism with the idyllic, a literary technique that earned her a permanent place in the pantheon of classic children's literature. Her legacy endures, her books continue to be widely read, and she remains a cherished figure in Canadian literary history.
