Product Description "Fans of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s century-old books still visit the farmhouse that inspired them." - Marylou Tousignant, The Washington Post As soon as Anne Shirley arrives at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she is sure she wants to stay forever . . . but will the Cuthberts send her back to to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not what they expected—a skinny girl with fiery red hair and a temper to match. If only she can convince them to let her stay, she'll try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes and blurting out the first thing that comes to her mind. Anne is not like anyone else, the Cuthberts agree; she is special—a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreams of the day when she can call herself Anne of Green Gables. A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf! Review " [Anne is] the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."-Mark Twain "Aficionados of the auburn-tressed waif will find Anne of Green Gables lavishly illustrated." Smithsonian Magazine --abc About the Author L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, off the east coast of Canada. She spent her childhood there, living with her grandparents after the death of her mother. Many scenes in Anne of Green Gables are drawn from her happy memories of the island and the farmhouse where she was brought up. The Anne of Green Gables series eventually grew to eight books-all of which are still in print throughout the world.
