Features: This is a sweetly descriptive novel about childhood life, and readers worldwide have confirmed Mark Twain's evaluation of the book a century ago—Anne is the most touching and beloved children's character since the immortal Alice. The book tells the story of the Cuthbert siblings at Green Gables, who are preparing to adopt a boy from the orphanage, only to be mistakenly sent a red-haired, talkative girl—Anne. Anne is stubborn, hardworking, lively, optimistic, forgiving, loves to imagine, and is sincere in her interactions. She is restless and curious, often getting into trouble but always amusing. The Cuthbert siblings' rigid lifestyle is completely turned upside down by Anne. Anne's growth touches the hearts of both siblings, while her passionate, energetic personality also inspires everyone around her.
Created 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. The book brought international fame to the author, and her enchanting descriptions of Canadian natural landscapes also made Anne's home—the Prince Edward Island in Canada—a world-famous tourist destination.
