About this book

Anne Shirley is eleven when she moves to Green Gables, a farm outside Avonlea. Her new family, the Cuthberts, don’t welcome her the way she expected. They wanted to adopt a boy to help with the chores, certainly not a spirited redheaded girl. Anne is lively, vulnerable and she has a great imagination, perhaps she can convince them to keep her in the farm a little longer, and finally settle in a place she loves so dearly. This classic is a beautiful portrait of a child growing up; exploring friendship, hardships, and many different forms of love. As flawed as Anne can be, she is also a deeply moving character with a story that is sure to fill your heart with affection!
