Anne of Green Gables - (Children's Signature Editions) by Lucy Maud Montgomery

About the Book

Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan, is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother and sister on a Prince Edward Island farm and proceeds to make an indelible impression on everyone around her.

Book Synopsis

The adventures of high-spirited Anne, which have inspired multiple TV and movie adaptations, is now available in an unabridged hardcover edition that's a perfect gift for today's young readers.

When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert ask the orphanage for a boy to help on the farm, they are surprised to receive Anne--a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced girl. Despite Anne's imaginative antics, her presence fills the small town of Avonlea with joy and laughter.

Filled with evocative descriptions of Prince Edward Island, this beloved classic is now available in a collectible hardcover edition, complete with black-and-white illustrations that bring the story to life.
