<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eleven-year-old Anne was not the boy her adoptive parents were expecting. But the imaginative, feisty, red-haired girl soon won them over--and captured the hearts of readers forever. This new edition contains a new Afterword. Reissue.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Fall in love with spirited, redheaded orphan Anne Shirley as she wins the hearts of everyone in the small town of Avonlea in this beloved children's classic.</b> <p/>For generations, readers have been charmed by the special world of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farm outside a town called Avonlea. Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has arrived in this verdant corner of Prince Edward Island only to discover that the Cuthberts--elderly Matthew and his stern sister, Marilla--want to adopt a boy, not a feisty redheaded girl. But before they can send her back, Anne--who simply must have more scope for her imagination and a real home--wins them over completely. <p/><i>Anne of Green Gables--</i>the inspiration for the Netflix series <i>Anne with an E--</i>is a much loved classic that explores all the vulnerability, expectations, and dreams of a child growing up. It is a wonderful portrait of a time, a place, a family...and most of all, love. <p/><b>Includes an Afterword by Jennifer Lee Carrell</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>?The dearest and most lovable child in fiction.?<BR> ?Mark Twain<BR><BR><br><br>aThe dearest and most lovable child in fiction.a<BR> aMark Twain<br><br>"The Most Moving and Delightful Child of Fiction Since the Immortal Alice."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lucy Maud (L.M.) Montgomery </b>(1874-1942) began her career writing for a newspaper in Halifax, Nova Scotia, before returning to her native Prince Edward Island. Her short stories soon began appearing in the <i>Family Herald</i> and children's magazines. <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> (1908) was actually written first as a serial for a Sunday school paper, but it quickly became her immensely successful first novel, bringing her international recognition. That title was followed by eight more books about Anne and Avonlea and a number of other entertaining novels, including her Emily series, which began in 1923 with <i>Emily of New Moon</i>. But it is Anne Shirley, praised by Mark Twain as "the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice," who remains a popular favorite throughout the world.
