Anne of Green Gables (Paperback or Softback)

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to adopt a boy to help with the work at Green Gables, they are astonished to discover that an imaginative, talkative eleven-year-old girl has been sent instead.

Anne Shirley arrives in the quiet farming community of Avonlea with bright red hair, a vivid imagination, and an irrepressible spirit. Though her tendency to find herself in trouble often tests the patience of those around her, Anne's warmth, intelligence, and boundless enthusiasm gradually win the hearts of the Cuthberts and the entire community.

As Anne grows from a lonely orphan into a confident young woman, she experiences friendship, rivalry, heartbreak, triumph, and the many joys and challenges of life in rural Prince Edward Island. Along the way she forms a lifelong friendship with Diana Barry, develops a spirited rivalry with Gilbert Blythe, and discovers the importance of family, belonging, and self-acceptance.

Filled with humour, charm, and unforgettable characters, Anne of Green Gables has delighted generations of readers since its first publication in 1908. Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved classic captures the beauty of childhood, the power of imagination, and the enduring value of kindness, perseverance, and hope.

Heartwarming, humorous, and timeless, Anne of Green Gables remains one of the most cherished novels in Canadian literature.
