Features: A sweetly descriptive novel of childhood life that readers worldwide confirm still holds true to Mark Twain's evaluation a century ago of this book—Anne is the most touching and beloved children's character since the immortal Alice. The Cuthbert siblings at Green Gables are preparing to adopt a boy from the orphanage, but by mistake, they receive a red-haired, chatty girl named Anne. Anne is stubborn, hardworking, lively, optimistic, forgiving, and loves to imagine; she is restless and curious, often getting into trouble but always amusing. The Cuthbert siblings' rigid lives are completely turned upside down. Anne's growth touches the hearts of both siblings, while her passionate and vibrant personality also infects everyone around her.
Written by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, "Anne of Green Gables" is one of the most beloved children's characters worldwide. It once brightened the lonely heart of an elderly Mark Twain. This book brought international fame to the author, and her enchanting descriptions of Canadian natural landscapes also made Anne's home—Prince Edward Island in Canada—a world-famous tourist destination.
