!By Serena and Martha!
L.M.Montgomery
• Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in 1874.
She died in 1942 aged 67. Her first novel,
Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908
when she was 34. It was her best selling
book. Lucy was only 2 years old when her
mother died. She was sent to live with her
grandparents on Prince Edward Island.
• When she was older she became a teacher,
but she left to take care of her grandmother,
after her grandfather died.
Fashion 1908
• The fashion in 1908 was
long dresses with tight
waists and puffy
sleeves. Women liked to
wear flat, extravagant
hats. Lots of women
had purses.
• Men wore smart suits
and top hats. They also
wore bow ties.
Pound Cakes
• It is a delightful, buttery sponge
cake. It is traditionally made with a
pound of sugar and a pond of butter.
Anne’s cake went horribly wrong in
the story. You need butter, sugar,
eggs, self raising flour, plain flour,
milk and vanilla extract.
Raspberry cordial
• Ingredients for a lovely raspberry
cordial.
• Ingredients: Frozen raspberries,
sugar, the juice of 2 lemons, 4 cups
of boiling water.
Location
• The book is located on Prince
Edward Island. It is surrounded by
beautiful trees, blossoms and the
glorious country side of America.
Anne Shirley
• Anne is a red head chatterbox.
She's always longed for a family.
She is skinny and has lots of
freckles. She is a lovable child and
got adopted by Mathew and
Marilla Cuthbert at the age of
eleven. She is a daydreamer and
she adores nature.
Marilla Cuthbert
• Marilla is an organised and stern lady
with a slight sense of humour. She is a
‘tall and thin woman with angles and
without curves’. Her dark hair showed
some grey streaks, which she always
kept up in a bun behind her head. She
has very thin lips.
Mathew Cuthbert
• Mathew is a shy man, who
sometimes relies on his wife, Marilla .
Mathew is scared of all woman
around him apart from Marilla and
Rachel. When he meets Anne he is
terribly afraid but he knows Marilla
will fix everything. Mathew never
dresses extravagantly, but on this
one occasion he wears a white collar
and his best suit of clothes.
Rachel Lynde
• Rachel is a nosy, old goat and thinks
that she knows everything, for
instance when Marilla and Mathew
are adopting a child she thinks it is a
stupid idea. She is the local
busybody and knows everything
about everybody. She isn't afraid to
share her opinions.
Life at Green Gables
• Green Gables is a farm and is used
to plant lots of crops. There is also a
brook round the back of Green
Gable. Green Gables is in sweet
little town called Avonlea.
Everybody is friendly with one
another and Green Gables is very
peaceful.
