Book Overview

This 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.

Hot-headed, strong-willed, and armed with a loose tongue, Anne Shirley is just eleven years old when she's mistakenly sent to the Cuthbert's farm at Green Gables. The ageing siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, couldn't be more shocked when the fiery-headed Anne turns up in place of the boy they requested. Deciding to give the orphan a chance, they agree to let her stay so long as she helps with the farmwork.

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 name for herself, Anne begins to make lifelong friends (and enemies) in this much-loved coming-of-age classic.

First published in 1908, L. M. Montgomery brings the quick-witted and vividly imaginative Anne to life in this classic children's novel. Incorporating themes of friendship, nature, morality and ambition, Anne of Green Gables has been loved for generations.

About L. M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site-namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.
