Her name isn't Cordelia, her hair isn't black, and she has no parents. These are the tragical facts of Anne Shirley's life until she comes to Green Gables and faces another: she's a girl. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert wanted a boy to help with the farm work but of all the things Anne can imagine, leaving Green Gables isn't one of them. She'll do anything to stay - talk less, pay more attention, control her temper. At least she'll try to.

Book 1 of the Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery. A tale of literature's most famous redhead and her colourful imagination. An excellent introduction to classic literature and perfect for readers aged 9+.

A popular classic story presented beautifully for children and inspiration for the hit TV show.
