Anne of Green Gables – Annotated Edition by Lucy Maud Montgomery

“Dear old world, you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.”

When eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to Green Gables instead of the farm boy Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert expected, life in the quiet Prince Edward Island village of Avonlea is altered forever. With her fiery red braids, unyielding romantic imagination, and passionate moral integrity, Anne wins over skeptical neighbors, turns domestic blunders into triumphs of grace, and climbs to the heights of academic achievement.
