Description

When Marilla and Matthew decide to adopt a boy from an orphanage they are not sure what to expect. But it's certainly not the imaginative, red-haired little girl who arrives at Green Gables instead.

Presented in a beautiful slip-case edition with new, full-color illustrations and in its original, unabridged text, readers ages 8 and up will follow Anne's adventures on Prince Edward Island in the first of L.M. Montgomery's much-loved stories.

Reviews

"Aficionados of the auburn-tressed waif will find "Anne of Green Gables" lavishly illustrated."-"Smithsonian Magazine"

Author description

L. M. MONTGOMERY, known as Maud, was born on Prince Edward Island, off the coast of Canada, in 1874. Maud's mother died when she was just a baby and so she had a rather unhappy childhood growing up in the care of her strict grandparents. She was just sixteen when she had her first poem published. As a young woman she worked as a teacher and although she didn't enjoy it much it gave her lots of time to write. Maud wrote hundred of short stories, poems and novels throughout her life but it was the hugely popular "Anne of Green Gables" and its sequels that made her famous. She died in 1942.
