Synopsis "Anne of Green Gables"

First published in 1908 "Anne of Green Gables" is Lucy Maud Montgomery's enduring children's classic which chronicles the coming of age of a young orphan girl, from the fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia. The story begins with her arrival at the Prince Edward Island farm of Miss Marilla Cuthbert and Mr. Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their fifties and sixties, who had decided to adopt a young boy to help out on the farm. However, through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne Shirley instead. While the Cuthbert's are at first determined to return Anne to the orphanage, after a few days they decide instead to keep her. Anne is an imaginative and energetic young girl, who quickly befriends Diana Barry at the local country school, becomes rivals with classmate Gilbert Blythe, who teases her about her red hair, and has unfortunate run-ins with the unpleasant Pye sisters. Set in the close knit farm community of Avonlea, based on the author's real life home on Prince Edward Island, "Anne of Green Gables" is at once both a comic and tragic tale. Read by millions this novel begins a series of books that the author continued writing until the day she died. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
