The adventures of high-spirited Anne, which have inspired multiple
TV and movie adaptations, is now available in an unabridged
hardcover edition that’s a perfect gift for today’s young
readers. Â When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert ask the
orphanage for a boy to help on the farm, they are surprised to
receive Anne—a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced girl.
Despite Anne’s imaginative antics, her presence fills the small
town of Avonlea with joy and laughter. Filled with evocative
descriptions of Prince Edward Island, this beloved classic is now
available in a collectible hardcover edition, complete with
black-and-white illustrations that bring the story to life.
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.
Toe Lucy Montgomery middae in die laatstrale van die son by haar
venster gesit en skryf het aan haar storie oor die enigmatiese
Anne, sou sy nooit as te nimmer kon droom dat die verhaal, meer as
honderd jaar later, steeds die harte van mense oor die aardbol heen
sou steel nie. Anne of Green Gables is reeds in meer as 36 tale
vertaal. Daar is al vollengte films, radiodramas, televisieflieks
en -reekse, strokiesprente, musiekblyspele en teaterproduksies
daarvan geskep ... alles geinspireer deur Montgomery se wonderskone
verhaal oor die eksentrieke klein weeskind met die rooi hare,
flinke brein, vinnige humeur, sagte hart en verbysterende
woordeskat. Sy sou nooit kon voorsien dat Prince Edward Island,
Kanada, waar sy lewe in haar karakters geblaas het, in die geheue
van kinders en (oumas) grootouers / volwassenes van talle tonge en
tale sou woon nie. Daar is trouens jaarliks produksies van Anne of
Green Gables in Europa en Japan. Lucy Montgomery het heelparty
opvolgverhale geskryf en meer as 67 jaar na haar dood is The
Blythes are Quoted gepubliseer. In 2008 is 'n voorspel, Before
Green Gables, deur Budge Wilson geskryf om die 100ste jaar van die
boekreeks te gedenk. Die oorspronklike boek word vandag nog aan
studente oor die wereld heen voorgeskryf.
