Read the timeless classic about the beloved Anne Shirley, a red-haired orphan with a fiery spirit. Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has never known a real home. Since her parents' deaths, she's bounced around to foster homes and orphanages. When she is sent by mistake to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she wants to stay forever. But Anne is not the sturdy boy Matthew and Marilla were expecting. She's a mischievous, talkative redheaded girl with a fierce temper, who tumbles into one scrape after another. Anne is not like anybody else, the Cuthberts agree; she is special, a girl with an enormous imagination. All she's ever wanted is to belong somewhere. And the longer she stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for anyone to imagine life without her. "[Anne is] the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."-Mark Twain.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A new forever favorite. I have not laughed out loud or cried so hard at a book in such a long time. So heartbreakingly sweet and endearing, Anne Shirley is unforgettable. I am a bit devastated it took me 30 years to meet her."; "My first time reading this series and I already can't wait to read more about Anne Shirley and Green Gables."; "A joy to read and absolutely beautiful. This is fiction at its best!"
