Book description
The Cuthberts are in for a shock. They are expecting an orphan boy to
help with the work at Green Gables but a skinny red-haired girl
turns up instead. Highly spirited Anne Shirley charms her way into the
Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter,
and soon it's impossible to imagine life without her.
A favourite classic with cover and introduction by the inimitable
Lauren Child, award-winning creator of Clarice Bean and the hugely
popular Charlie and Lola series.

and its sequels, inspired by the years she spent on the beautiful
Prince Edward Island. Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942 and was buried
