A new Heritage Minute spot, is shining a brighter light on the life and times of “Anne of Green Gables” author Lucy Maude Montgomery…
The ad honours the literary icon by focusing on the challenges she faced in life, including a struggle with depression.
Anne of Green Gables has been translated into 36 languages and has sold more than 50-million copies world wide.
Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942 after taking her own life at the age of 67.
The spot could go along way to correcting the results of a poll, released earlier this week, suggesting only 30 percent of Canadians know anything about Montgomery.
