What is the full name of the author of 'Anne of Green Gables'?

The full name of the author of Anne of Green Gables is Lucy Maud Montgomery.

Montgomery was a Canadian writer whose 1908 novel introduced Anne Shirley, an imaginative orphan mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert on Prince Edward Island. The book became an international success and established Anne as one of children’s literature’s most enduring characters.

Montgomery published under the name L. M. Montgomery, which is why the abbreviated form is widely recognized. However, the question asks for her full name, making Lucy Maud Montgomery the canonical answer. The middle name “Maud” was her preferred spelling, although it is sometimes mistakenly written as “Maude.”

Montgomery went on to write numerous sequels about Anne, including Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island. She also created the Emily of New Moon series and produced more than a thousand short stories and poems. Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden, while Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women; neither wrote Anne of Green Gables.
