Born on Prince Edward Island, Montgomery's personal experiences and the landscapes of her youth heavily influenced her literary work. Her writing is celebrated for its ability to capture the essence of rural Canadian life, as well as the strong, independent female characters that grace her narratives.

'Montgomery's sixth book in the Anne of Green Gables series, 'Anne of Ingleside' (1939), continues to explore the life of Anne Shirley Blythe in her role as a mother and community member at Ingleside.
