  Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
  Ted's Afternoon Off: Ted was up at five that morning, as usual. He always had to rise early to kindle the fire and go for the cows, but on this particular morning there was no "had to" about it. He had awakened at four o'clock and had sprung eagerly to the little garret window facing the east, to see what sort of a day was being born.

  Oroonoko, one of the earliest English novels, tells the tragic tale of an African prince enslaved in the European colony of Surinam. Noble and courageous, Oroonoko is captured through deceit and sold into bondage, where he endures the brutal realities of slavery while clinging to his dignity and love for the beautiful slave Imoinda. Behn’s narrative blends romance, political critique, and early abolitionist sentiment, offering both admiration for her hero and a complex portrayal of colonial power. A poignant and controversial work, it remains a landmark in literature for its exploration of race, honor, and human rights in the 17th-century world.
