The classic story of an orphaned girl who wins the hearts of the elderly brother and sister who adopt her, and how she touches the lives of all the people in a village on Prince Edward Island.
Written originally as a book for readers of all ages, this story of the orphan Anne Shirley in the town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island has become a classic of children’s literature. Unmarried siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt a boy orphan to help on their farm. Instead of a boy, the 11-year-old, red-haired Anne arrives and in her bright and determined way remakes the lives of everyone in the small community. Originally published in 1908, Anne of Green Gables has been made into an award-winning Canadian television miniseries and continues to delight new generations of readers.
