An unforgettable character beloved by generations of readers Redheaded orphan Anne Shirley longs for a real home, somewhere she can truly belong. When she first arrives at the Green Gables house on Prince Edward Island, it’s everything she ever imagined. But to stay, she’ll first have to convince Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert to adopt her. And that means controlling her temper (even when Gilbert … Gilbert Blythe calls her “Carrots”), staying out of trouble (and away from hair dye), and not getting too carried away with her daydreams (though she would make the perfect Lady of Shallot floating down the river). Anne might not always get it quite right, but she does keep things interesting…
Through Anne’s eyes, the ordinary world becomes magical and every day is an adventure. She inspires the dreamer in all of us, never hesitates to say the things we wish we could get away with, and makes us cherish every kindred spirit we meet. It’s no surprise Anne is loved around the world by generations of readers.
This new edition lovingly restores the original, unabridged text and includes an all-new, exclusive introduction with special memories from L.M. Montgomery’s granddaughter.

Anne with an “e”!
This is a true classic that I somehow missed reading when I was younger — and I think everyone needs to read it!
Even though I read this book as an adult and mother of 3 young girls I enjoyed it immensely. It took me back to my childhood and experiences of the 50’s & 60’s. I love this book!
I have seen the TV presentation and loved it. But reading it presents a wonderful and delightful description of all the characters . I was sorry when it ended. It was revealing and realistic to see Ann’s character develop with the years.
A really delightful read.
Great book for young girls and even us old ones!!
I just love this book. It’s one of the few books that reread every few years.
