Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on
determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative
imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the
lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a
girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of
transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of
Avonlea comes under Anne's influence in some way. We see her grow
from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and
not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own
red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works
it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the
true meaning of love. Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end
of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own
story. The sequel, Anne of Avonlea, follows her progress as a
teacher as she seeks to put into practice the lessons she has
learnt, helping at the same time to keep Green Gables going,
pursuing her enduring friendships, and finding first love where she
least expects it. Both books conjure an enchanting landscape of
wild blossom, lakes and brooks, woods and ocean, seen through
Anne's 'beauty-loving eyes', whose vision of the world she brings
us to share.
