  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.
  The Old Fellow's Letter: Ruggles and I were down on the Old Fellow. It doesn't matter why and, since in a story of this kind we must tell the truth no matter what happens or else where is the use of writing a story at all? I'll have to confess that we had deserved all we got and that the Old Fellow did no more than his duty by us.

Set in a quiet, eerie village nestled in the Hudson Valley, this story follows the adventures of the superstitious schoolteacher Ichabod Crane.
