Is a beloved classic that introduces readers to Anne Shirley, a spirited, imaginative, and talkative orphan girl. The story begins when Anne, mistakenly sent from an orphanage, arrives at Green Gables, the farm of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help with farm work.

Initially disappointed by the error, Matthew is immediately charmed by Anne’s vivid imagination and endearing chatter, while the more stern Marilla slowly succumbs to Anne’s unique personality and good heart. The novel chronicles Anne’s life from age 11 to 16 as she navigates the challenges and joys of growing up in the picturesque village of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island.
