<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This version of Anne of Green Gables is based on the version published in Boston in 1908 by L.C. Page & Company. Some minor errors have been silently corrected"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When Marilla Cuthbert and her brother, Matthew, decide to adopt a child from a distant orphanage, they don't get quite what they bargained for. The child who awaits them at the tiny Bright River train station is not the strapping young boy they'd imagined--someone to help Matthew work the fields of their small farm--but rather a freckle-faced, redheaded girl named Anne (with an <i>e</i>, if you please).<br> Matthew and Marilla may not be sure about Anne, but Anne takes one look at Prince Edward Island's red clay roads and the Cuthberts' snug white farmhouse with its distinctive green gables and decides that she's home at last. But will she be able to convince Marilla and Matthew to let her stay?<br> Armed with only a battered carpetbag and a boundless imagination, Anne charms her way into the Cuthberts' hearts--and into the hearts of readers as well. She truly is, in the words of Mark Twain, the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Aficionados of the auburn-tressed waif will find <i>Anne of Green Gables</i> lavishly illustrated."<br>-<i>Smithsonian Magazine</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was born in what is now New London, Prince Edward Island, and raised by her grandparents after the death of her mother when she was just two. She worked for a time as a teacher and a journalist, then wrote her first novel, <i>Anne of Green Gables</i>, in the evenings while caring for her grandmother. When the book appeared in 1908, it was an instant success; it would go on to sell millions of copies in dozens of languages the world over, making Anne one of literature's most beloved characters of all time.
