Anne Shirley Autographs
Anne Shirley is a fictional character introduced in the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. Shirley is featured throughout the classic book series, which revolves around her life and family in 19th century Prince Edward Island, in Canada, including the eventual adoption of a new surname.
During the conception of Anne of Green Gables, Montgomery was inspired by notes she had made as a young girl about a man and a woman who were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of the boy they had requested, yet decided to keep her. She drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island.
These experiences included her multiple stays in the house across the street, owned by Pierce and Rachael Macneill who had applied to adopt a boy from England but by mistake were sent (on September 22, 1892) a three-year-old girl named Ellen; by the age of six, Ellen Macneill had "long... shiny, reddish hair". Montgomery noted in her journal, "The idea of getting a child from an orphan asylum was suggested to me years ago as a possible germ for a story by the fact that Pierce Macneill got a little girl from one, and I jotted it down in my notebook."
