Anne Shirley is unforgettable, and this beautifully packaged edition of L.M. Mon
tgomery's classic novel is as memorable as its heroine.
When Anne Shirley arri
ves at Green Gables, she surprises everyone: first of all, she's a girl, even th
ough Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew specifically asked for an orphan b
oy to help around the farm. And second of all, she's not just any girl: she has
bright red hair, a wild imagination, and can talk a mile a minute.
But she als
o has a sweet disposition and quick wit, and Anne (with an "e" of course--it's s
o much more distinguished!) soon finds her place in Avonlea, making a friend in
her neighbor Diana Barry and attending the local school, where she spurns the ad
vances of the popular and handsome Gilbert Blythe when he commits the ultimate s
in of making fun of her hair.
Anne has a temper as fiery as her hair and a kna
ck for finding trouble, and she also has a big heart and a positive attitude tha
t affects everyone she meets. This classic and beloved story makes a wonderful g
ift and keepsake.
