- Anne of Green Gables
1
The skinny, red-haired waif’s expectant smile brightened up the entire length of the Bright River Station platform. The only living creature in sight, she waited patiently, her legs dangling from the pile of shingles where she sat. Matthew Cuthbert knew all too well that his sister Marilla had expected the orphanage to send a boy, but when he lifted the freckled, green-eyed little girl into the buggy, he sensed that life at Green Gables was going to be very different and, he hoped, much improved. This endearing, heartwarming book has charmed generations of children and parents since it was first published in 1908. A classic of children’s literature, Anne of Green Gables has given the world the spunky, irrepressible little girl who Mark Twain hailed as “the most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice.”

1
When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables send for a boy orphan to help them out at their farm, they mistakenly get Anne Shirley, a feisty, independent, but warm-hearted eleven-year-old girl. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination win the hearts of her reluctant foster parents and everyone in the community. But not a day goes by without some memorable adventure or prank in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on, for example, she accidentally dyes her "cursed" red hair green. Later, in an effort to impress a neighbor she bakes a cake, but with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote that Anne is an extension of herself and represents the independent, "new" woman of the emerging twentieth century. Individualistic, resourceful, and of a great humanitarian heart, she remains a great role model for girls and women today.
- Anne of Avonlea
2
In Anne of Green Gables, delightful, unpredictable Anne Shirley captured the hearts of girls around the world. Now this charming heroine returns in the further adventures of Anne of Avonlea. Avonlea is the prettiest little town on Prince Edward Island, which is the prettiest island in all of Canada. Years ago, Anne came here as an orphan—a mischievous, talkative redhead with a shabby suitcase and a heart full of dreams. Now, however, Anne is a young woman with new dreams. She has a job as the town’s schoolteacher, and as the school year passes, wonderful adventures await: reuniting two long-lost lovers, raising two orphans who tumble into her life, and discovering the first flickering of love for a dear old friend. Today L.M. Montgomery’s tales of Anne Shirley are beloved classics, with generations of fans everywhere.

In the first sequel to Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery's feisty, redheaded heroine is now sixteen and a schoolteacher in the small village of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. Although older, Anne Shirley isn't necessarily wiser-and she hasn't outgrown her mischievous ways. Anne learns how complicated life can be when she takes two new orphans at Green Gables under her wings, meddles in someone else's love life, and learns about romance herself when she encounters the "odd behavior" of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe.

But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly, Anne must decide if she's ready for love.

Lucy Maud Montgomery
Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1874 and raised by her maternal grandparents following her mother's death when she was just two years old. Biographical accounts of her upbringing suggest a strict and rather lonely childhood. She later spent a number of years working as a teacher before turning to journalism and then, ultimately to fiction writing. While Anne of Green Gables was completed in 1905 Montgomery was at first unable to find a publisher for it and - having set it aside for a while - eventually found a champion for it in the Page Company of Boston. Her first novel - and the one which was to prove by far her most successful - was published in 1908 and has remained in print the world over ever since. In creating the uniquely memorable Anne, Montgomery gave the world of classic fiction one of its most enduring heroines.
