This special centennial edition of the heartwarming classic brings to life the story of Anne, an eleven-year-old orphan who is sent by mistake to live with a lonely, middle-aged brother and sister. Everyone’s favorite redhead, the spunky Anne Shirley, begins her adventures at Green Gables, a farm outside Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. When the freckled girl realizes that the elderly Cuthberts wanted to adopt a boy instead, she begins to try to win them—and, consequently, the reader—over.
