Sensible Marilla and taciturn brother Matthew Cuthbert, the owners of Green Gables on beautiful Prince Edward Island, unintentionally adopt the redheaded Anne Shirley. The impulsive, wistful, loquacious, and accident prone orphan proceeds to finds "kindred spirits" in her nosy neighbors, fellow schoolmates, and only person able to compete with her spirit and ambition in the quiet Canadian town of Avonlea, dashing Gilbert Blythe. A coming of age story with humor, romance and lessons to learn - readers can ride the highs and lows with Anne, and find within her personal trials "scope for imagination."

Anne is an orphan with a wild imagination, and loving nature. She is "accidentaly" adopted by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, with heartwarming results. It's a wonderful story for adults and children alike.
