A beautiful new edition of a beloved classic that has sold over 50 million copies worldwide!

A classic for all ages, this official, unabridged edition of Anne of Green Gables features the unforgettable character of Anne Shirley and special memories,

exclusively from L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter.

Redheaded orphan Anne Shirley longs for a real home,

somewhere she can truly belong. When she first arrives at the Green Gables

house on Prince Edward Island, it's everything she ever imagined. But to stay,

she'll first have to convince Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert to adopt her. And

that means controlling her temper (even when Gilbert Blythe calls her

""Carrots""), staying out of trouble (and away from hair dye), and not

getting too carried away with her daydreams (though she would make the perfect

Lady of Shallot floating down the river). Anne might not always get it quite

right, but she does keep things interesting...

Through Anne's eyes, the ordinary world becomes magical and

every day is an adventure. She inspires the dreamer in all of us, never

hesitates to say the things we wish we could get away with, and makes us cherish

every kindred spirit we meet. It's no surprise Anne is loved around the world

by generations of readers.

L. M. Montgomery, known as Maud, was born on Prince Edward Island, off the coast of Canada, in 1874. Maud's mother died when she was just a baby and so she had a rather unhappy childhood growing up in the care of her strict grandparents. She was just sixteen when she had her first poem published. As a young woman she worked as a teacher and although she didn't enjoy it much it gave her lots of time to write. Maud wrote hundred of short stories, poems and novels throughout her life but it was the hugely popular Anne of Green Gables and its sequels that made her famous. She died in 1942.
