In 1908, Montgomery published her most famous work: Anne of Green Gables. She worked long hours, often only finding the time and energy to do her own writing in the early mornings before work. Three years later, Montgomery took a position with the Halifax Chronicle’s evening edition, Daily Echo, as proof reader and writer. Four years later, she became a teacher, and in 1895 sold her first short story for five dollars. In 1889, at the age of fifteen, Montgomery had a poem published in the newspaper, the Patriot. A voracious reader, as a girl, Montgomery became enthralled by Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (1678) and Charles Dickens’s Pickwick Papers (1836) Her upbringing was both idyllic and devoutly religious, and from the age of six she attended the Cavendish Schoolhouse.
