This heartwarming story has beckoned generations of readers into the special world of Green Gables, and old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea, where they soon discover there is no one in all of literature like Anne Shirley. Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan, has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthberts - elderly Matthew and stern older sister Marilla - want to adopt a boy, not a feisty redhaired girl. Anne - who simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real home - wins them over completely.
