Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper  
that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were  
mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep  
her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural  
Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit,  
clipped from an American magazine and pasted on the wall above her  
writing desk, as the model for Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
