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.

One of my all-time favorite books. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read this series, mostly when I was younger. Sweet & heart-warming story of a spunky, imaginative orphan finding her place in a new home.
I have, through the years, heard so much about the book, but I had never read it. No doubt, it is intended for younger women to read, but I truly enjoyed it at age 85. It is quite unique.
Sweet.
This is a classic story about a young, impulsive orphan girl who is adopted, and teaches her adoptive family about love, loyalty, and laughter!
A great “feel good” novel that transports you back to a time when life was simpler. A great salve for the soul during these troubled times!
One of my first big novels and series as a child. I will always treasure my time spent with Anne
Great book that deserves its classic status.

It was a fun read.
A wonderful classic. As great to read as an adult as a child.
If your daughters are pre-teen, this book will help them to evaluate, think for themselves, and plan for excellence.
I’ve read it and also listened to it as an audible book. I want to like it, but it’s not for me but I know others love it.
This is a classic that should be required reading at any level.
Loved this classic!
