L.M. Montgomery's novel 'Anne of Green Gables' recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan mistakenly sent to a pair of siblings who intended to adopt a boy to help work on their farm in Prince Edward Island. Yet Anne's quirky personality and good-natured spirit causes the siblings to grow to love her anyway, and soon the entire town falls for the precocious little girl with bright red hair.Cherished by both children and adults, Anne of Green Gables is a celebration of fierce individualism, and the families we create, rather than the ones we are born into. Anne of Green Gables is a light-hearted story that has earned itself a place among the all-time favorite children's books. Now even more interesting in this exclusive illustrated edition.
