Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert are unmarried siblings who live on their ancestral farm, Green Gables, in the quiet town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada. They apply to adopt a boy from an orphanage. By mistake, however, a red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old girl named Anne Shirley is sent to the Cuthbert siblings. They decide to keep her despite her not being of the appropriate gender. Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables. Though Anne has good intentions, she gets into a lot of trouble. She often finds herself in conflict with her adoptive mother and other local women, as she has trouble acting like a "proper lady" and abiding by standard rules of etiquette and social expectations. The Cuthbert's agree; she is special - a girl with an enormous imagination.

For a while everything was very quiet in the nursery. The night light burned dimly in its pretty vase of rosy crystal, showing Sally as she lay fast asleep and breathing softly, the braids of her bright hair lying loosely on the pillow, and one little plump hand holding fast the Teddy bear's soft and somewhat resisting paw. But presently something under the bedclothes stirred at first gently, then more vigorously. A little moving heap edged its way out from under the sheets and blankets, and a queer little brown figure in pink striped pajamas shook itself free and stood up by Sally's pillow. The papa bear was wide awake, ready for action and very anxious to explore his new surroundings. A Wonderful Children's Story set in the early 1900's, this is a delightful story of Teddy Bears arrival in the department store and the adventures of them when bought and brought into a family's home.
