Synopsis
Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are in for a big surprise. They are waiting for an orphan boy to help with the work at Green Gables - but a skinny, red-haired girl turns up instead. Feisty and full of spirit, Anne Shirley charms her way into the Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter. It's not long before Anne finds herself in trouble, but soon it becomes impossible for the Cuthberts to imagine life without 'their' Anne - and for the people of Avonlea to recall what it was like before this wildly creative little girl whirled into town.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely brilliant
I first read Anne of Green Gables at the age of 19, and within two weeks had bought the rest of the books in the series and read them all. I still re-read them at frequent intervals and I am now 38! I would recommend this and the other books to any child or adult.

A Classic
Yes, I agree with just about everyone else reviewing this. A very special book, even a great book in a very special series - funny, warm, sad, it has everything and is as fresh as the day it was written.

My daughter just loved this to bits.

LOVE THIS BOOK
I read this book many years ago when a teenager and loved it so much went on to read the others in the series. It is a wonderful book, sad in places but mainly making you smile. My best friend still call each other 'kindred spirit' after this book introduced us to the idea you have one true kindred spirit in this world-I recommend this book to young and old!
