About
Anne of Green Gables Synopsis
The beloved story of orphan Anne Shirley's adoption by an elderly brother and sister is now available in an exclusive collector's edition featuring:
- A beautiful, high-end hardcover with Laci Fowler's distinctive hand-painted art and embossing/debossing treatments to bring the art to life
- Story details are incorporated into the cover art as surprise finds for the consummate fan
- Decorative interior pages containing quotes throughout
- Matching ribbon marker and gold page edges
When eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to live on a farm with siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, Anne finds herself in a real home for the first time in her life. Fiery and spirited, she certainly isn't the sturdy boy they had planned to adopt. Despite her mischief and affinity for finding trouble, the longer Anne stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for the Cuthberts to imagine life without her.
Exploring the time-honored themes of imagination versus reality, the pressures of social expectations, and the differences between true emotion and mere sentiment, this unique collector's edition presents L. M. Montgomery's beloved tale of friendship and family in a giftable new way.
This edition of Anne of Green Gables is part of a four-volume collection, which also includes The Secret Garden, Winnie-the-Pooh and Other Delightful Stories, and Peter Pan.

About L M Montgomery
L.M. Montgomery achieved international fame in her lifetime, putting Prince Edward Island and Canada on the world literary map. A prolific writer, she published some 500 short stories and poems and twenty novels. Nineteen of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, even though she lived in Ontario for the last thirty-one years of her life.
Today, Montgomery's novels, journals, letters, short stories, and poems are read and studied by general readers and scholars from around the world. Her writing appeals to people who love beauty and to those who struggle against oppression. In the Second World War, Polish soldiers were issued copies of Montgomery's novels to take to the front. A post-war Japan turned to Anne for lessons in optimism and imagination. A musical based on Montgomery's first best-seller, Anne of Green Gables, has drawn packed houses for over twenty-five years. Recent television movies and series based on her novels have had international success and have made Montgomery a household name once again.
