Green Gables (AmazonClassics Edition)

Eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley has just arrived at Green Gables, and her guardians are already considering sending her back. Firstly, she’s not the boy the Cuthberts expected, and secondly, she talks too much. Despite her generous spirit, the trouble-prone redhead manages to get the neighbor drunk and nearly poisons the pastor! Nevertheless, Anne manages to win over her guardians and her new community with her fiery personality, and she thrives at Green Gables, excelling in school and earning a coveted scholarship. However, when tragedy strikes, Anne is forced to make a difficult choice between her dreams and the only home she’s ever known.

In this beloved coming-of-age story, Lucy Maud Montgomery drew from her own experiences growing up in Canada during the nineteenth century to introduce generations of readers to one of literature’s most original and inspiring characters.
