The beloved classic tale of the spunky, redheaded orphan who can’t seem to stay out of trouble—specially adapted for young readers.

Lucy Maud Montgomerys classic tale, with its engaging heroine and evocative description of the Prince Edward Island landscape, never fails to delight youngsters. When Matthew Cuthbert goes to the train station to pick up the orphan he and his sister Marilla plan to adopt, he expects to meet a boy who can help on the family farm. Instead its Anne—a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old little girl who transforms the Cuthberts life forever and fills it with love and joy.

About the Author

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada. She left to attend college, but later returned to teach and write stories set on her home island. Her best-known work, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 to international success. The first in a series of “Anne” books, the novel continues to be a perennial favorite. Montgomery also published several other book series, stories, and standalone novels, including her semi-autobiographical “Emily” trilogy.
