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.   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.

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.

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.
