Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874--1942) was a Canadian author who wrote around five-hundred short stories and poems, as well as twenty published novels. The years she spent on the beautiful Prince Edward Island influenced her writing and inspired her stories of the loveable, red-headed orphan, Anne Shirley. Based in Winter Park, Florida, Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co., a worldwide stationery and gift brand, is an artist best known for her whimsical designs, which often include hand-painted illustrations and lettering. She has created unique illustrated covers for the Puffin in Bloom book collection, which includes such classics as L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, Heidi by Johanna Spyri, and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
