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.
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.

When the Cuthberts send to an orphanage for a boy to help them at
Green Gables, their farm in Canada, they are astonished when a
talkative little girl steps off the train. Anne, red-headed,
pugnacious and incurably romantic, causes chaos at Green Gables and
in the village, but her wit and good nature delight the fictional
community of Prince Edward Island, Canada, and ensure that Anne of
Green Gables continues to be a firm favourite with readers
worldwide. Anne of Avonlea continues Anne's story. Now half-past
sixteen but as strong-headed and romantic as ever, Anne becomes a
teacher at her old school and dreams of its improvement. But her
responsible position and mature ambitions do not prevent her
entanglement in the scrapes that still seem to beset her in spite
of her best intentions. Thoroughly charming and amusing, with a
supporting cast of colourful and endearing characters, both books
will enchant and entertain readers, guaranteeing that Anne's
adventures capture their affections as well as their imaginations.
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.

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.
