Beloved by generations, this first book of Montgomery’s series tells the story of orphan Anne Shirley, who at age 11 is sent to Prince Edward Island to live with elderly Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert (siblings) on a farm. The Cuthberts had hoped to adopt a boy to help them on the farm, but high-spirited Anne is sent from the orphanage in error. She is so fanciful and dramatic that they almost send her back to the orphanage. But stern Marilla and kind Matthew warm to her and she to them. This is a coming-of-age story with depth, freshness, and timeless characters. The ensuing volumes follow her from childhood to womanhood with lessons about imagination, friendship, constancy, sacrifice, and the meaning of life well-lived.
