OverviewThis treasured coming-of-age story chronicles the journey of a little red-headed orphan, Anne Shirley, as she struggles to settle into her new life on Prince Edward Island. Anne Shirley is just eleven-years-old when she is mistakenly sent to the Cuthbert's Farm in place of the boy they requested. Aging siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, decide to give the orphan a chance and agree to let her stay so long as she helps with the farmwork. Hot-headed, strong-willed and armed with a loose tongue, Anne soon finds herself running into trouble. She takes the peaceful Avonlea community by storm, disturbing the steady rhythm of the villagers' life. Stubborn and keen to make a life for herself, Anne begins to make lifelong friends (and enemies) in this much-loved coming-of-age classic. Initially published in 1908, Lucy Maud Montgomery brings the quick-witted and vividly imaginative Anne to life in this endearing children's novel. Incorporating themes of friendship, nature, morality and ambition, Anne of Green Gables has been loved for generations. Read & Co. Children's is proud to have republished this wonderful edition of Anne of Green Gables. Complete with an introductory author biography, this novel is the ideal gift for ambitious young girls with a love of adventure. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lucy Maud MontgomeryPublisher: Read & Co.

Table of ContentsReviewsIt is only necessary to read a few pages of the book to be assured that Anne of Green Gables is in conception and style, the fruit (the first fruit, we believe) of a richly endowed mind of rare imaginative capacity. Her scenes and the personages with which she peoples them become real as one reads. - The Gazette, 1908 Anne of Green Gables is the dearest, most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice. - Mark Twain, 1908 It is a gem even, with her red hair and freckles. We should dearly have loved Anne Shirley in the flesh. - Temple Scott, 1908 Author InformationLucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author and writer of 20 novels, 30 essays, 500 poems and 530 short stories.
