Anne of Green Gables tells the story of a girl who transforms an unexpected mistake into a lifelong home.
When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to adopt a boy to help on their farm in Avonlea, they are instead sent eleven-year-old Anne Shirley—imaginative, talkative, and fiercely sensitive about her red hair.
What begins as a misunderstanding soon becomes a quiet reshaping of hearts.
With her boundless imagination and hunger for learning, Anne brings color and vitality to Green Gables.
Through school rivalries, devoted friendship, and hard-won self-discipline, she grows into herself.
A timeless coming-of-age novel about belonging, resilience, and the redemptive power of love.
This is the English-language paperback edition of the novel.
