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.
Anne of Green Gables is the tale of a spirited orphan girl who
finds a new home for herself in a quiet corner of Prince Edward
Island. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, an aging brother and sister,
arrange for a boy to be sent from the orphanage to help them with
their farm. When a freckled, red-haired eleven-year-old girl turns
up instead, they intend to send her back immediately. But Anne has
other ideas, and the old couple find their life may never be the
same again. Loved by generations of readers for its warmth, humor,
and idyllic setting, Anne of Green Gables will delight readers of
any age.
