As soon as Anne Shirley arrived at the snug, white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she wanted to stay forever... but would the Cuthberts send her back to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not what they expected -- a skinny girl with decidedly red hair and tendency to attract trouble. If only she could convince them to let her stay, she'd try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes or blurt out the very first thing she had to say. Anne was not like anybody else, everyone at Green Gables agreed; she was special -- a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreamed of the day when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables.

When eleven-year-old orphan girl Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, with nothing but a carpetbag and an overactive imagination, she knows that she has found her ideal home. But first she must convince the Cuthberts to let her stay, even though she isn’t the boy they had hoped for. The loquacious Anne quickly finds her way into their hearts, as she has with generations of readers, and her charming adventures in Avonlea, filled with colorful characters and tender escapades, linger forever in our memories.
