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.

Patricia Gardiner is another of Montgomery's sweet-natured and agreeable heroines. She grows up in the beautiful house of Silver Bush, surrounded by a large family, whose true mother-figure is their Irish cook, Judy. She loves and clings to the house as the best and most constant source of happiness in her life. As she matures she becomes more accepting of the inevitability of change, despite her experiences of illness and loss. Montgomery said that there was more of herself in Pat than any of her other heroines, and this novel strongly echoes her own lovingly remembered childhood on Prince Edward Island, with Silver Bush standing in for her cousins' house, Park Corner.

This wonderfully funny story follows young, orphaned Anne as she moves to the small town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada and finds people to love, finds her place in the world, and eventually grows into her own. This is a timeless story of childhood mistakes and adventures that everyone should read, being a particularly poignant book for girls. Young teenagers will find this story of adolescent joys and missteps both entertaining and meaningful. The character of Anne Shirley quickly won over the hearts of readers when the book was published in 1908. Mark Twain wrote to Lucy Maud Montgomery saying Anne Shirley was "the dearest, and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."

This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1916 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Watchman & Other Poems' is a collection of poems by this famous writer of fiction. She worries that her husband no longer loves her but vows to make him fall for her again. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.

Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic children's novel tells the tale of Anne Shirley, a red-headed orphan mistakenly fostered on Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, two middle aged siblings who run a small farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island. The Cuthberts had 'ordered' an orphan boy to help in the fields, but Anne's talkative nature, her romantic nature and irrepressible optimism gradually charm the staid old couple. She is allowed to stay and is soon popular with her schoolmates, especially her bosom friend Diana, and the handsome and annoying Gilbert Blythe, whom Anne refuses to speak to after he jokingly calls her 'Carrots'. The author lovingly traces Anne's journey through childhood, following her adventures and misadventures from a naive, melodramatic child to an intelligent, selfless young woman who, despite setbacks, remains unconquerably optimistic about life and the human condition.

Anne Shirley is exactly the opposite of what the Cuthberts were expecting when they send for a farmhand from the orphanage to help around the house and farm. Instead of a strong reliable boy they find a fiery, imaginative and headstrong girl. Anne desperately wants to stay at Green Gables, but will she ever persuade the Cuthberts to keep her, or learn how to fit in with everybody else?

Anne, a young orphan from fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia, is sent to Prince Edward Island after a childhood spent in strangers' homes and orphanages. The book recounts Anne's adventures in making a home: the country school, where she quickly excels in her studies; her friendship with Diana Barry; her budding literary ambitions; and her rivalry with classmate Gilbert Blythe, who teases her about her red hair.

Laughter, love and learning all combine in this brilliant sequel to 'Anne of Green Gables'. Anne has given up her dream of college for the time being, instead staying in Avonlea as a teacher. But life is still full of adventures and scrapes; what with two orphaned twins, a very interesting romance and the thought of the extremely handsome Gilbert Blythe's odd behaviour. This is definitely going to get interesting
