Anne of Green Gables - (Puffin Classics) by L M Montgomery (Paperback)

Orphan Anne Shirley is thrilled when she is sent to live with the Cuthbert siblings, Matthew and Marilla. The problem is, they were looking for an orphan boy, someone who could help Matthew around the farm. Still, they begin to fall for Anne and agree to let her stay. This book follows her adventures of the next five years as she grows to become a sixteen-year-old. What will happen over that time? I’ve never read this well-loved classic, and I decided it was time to fix that. It came out in 1908, so some of the language is dated, although there is nothing offensive here. I think I needed to be a pre-teen girl to fully enjoy this book. There were certainly parts I did enjoy, but overall, I found the book more episodic than a real novel. That tends to happen to me when a novel covers such a span of time. Also, the events in the second half of the book got to be too much for me. Having said that, I can see the appeal. The characters definitely grew on me, and I laughed at various events along the way. I’m curious enough about what happens next that I might go on with the series.

Anne of Green Gables is absolutely an amazing classic of the English literature, I got the hardcover and love its pretty colors, (Looks so pretty on the shelf also) love that the printing is easy to read, good spaced lettering... This Hardcover Puffin Edition (the pink book in the photo) is very much like The Wordsworth Edition, they are almost identical in printing/lettering...

Excellent price for a great book! Bought it for my daughter she really enjoyed it!
