Born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Montgomery lost her mother before her second birthday and was raised primarily by her maternal grandparents in Cavendish, where the island’s landscapes, rural communities, and distinctive personalities would profoundly influence her writing. An avid reader and imaginative child, she began writing poetry and stories at an early age, eventually working as a teacher and newspaperwoman before achieving international success with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in 1908.
