Anne of Green Gables
The adventures of high-spirited Anne, which have inspired multiple TV and movie adaptations, are now available in an unabridged, illustrated cloth hardcover edition in Union Square and Co.’s Children's Signature Clothbound Classics series.
When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert ask the orphanage for a boy to help on the farm, they are surprised to receive Anne—a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced girl. Despite Anne’s imaginative antics, her presence fills the small town of Avonlea with joy and laughter.
Filled with evocative descriptions of Prince Edward Island, this beloved classic is now available in a collectible clothbound edition, complete with black-and-white illustrations that bring the story to life.
Lucy Maude Montgomery (1874-1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, the setting for Anne of Green Gables. She left to attend college but returned to Prince Edward Island to teach. In 1911, she married the Reverend Ewan MacDonald. Anne of Green Gables, the first in a series of 'Anne' books by Montgomery, was published in 1908 to immediate success and continues to be a perennial favourite.
