The
Anne of Green Gables Collection
brings together the first three books from the enduring
Anne of Green Gables
series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, a classic of children's literature.
When eleven-year-old Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to Green Gables Farm in place of the boy they requested, elderly brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to give the little girl a chance. Full of chatter and equipped with a vivid imagination, Anne makes steadfast friends and classroom enemies as she settles into her new life in Avonlea.
First published between 1908 and 1915, the
books tell the fanciful tale of how a stubborn and wildly imaginative orphan whirls her way into the peaceful Avonlea community. Armed with a quick wit and fiery personality, it's not long before Anne has to tackle life's many challenges as she grows from a young girl into a charming young lady, in the first three volumes of this endearing coming-of-age story.
With themes of friendship, nature, morality and ambition, the
series has been a well-loved staple in children's literature for over a century. This collection from Read & Co. Books features the first three books in the
series,
,
Anne of Avonlea
, and
Anne of the Island
, and also includes an introductory biography of the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery.
