Anne of Green Gables

L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942)

Original en 101964 words First published 1908 Canada

L. M. Montgomery's beloved 1908 novel, the first of the Anne books. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables asked the orphanage for a boy to help on the Prince Edward Island farm; they got Anne Shirley, a red-haired, talkative girl with an imagination that turns every mishap into an adventure. Against her own best intentions — and often because of them — she wins over the whole of Avonlea. A warm, funny portrait of childhood, belonging and a temper that is never quite conquered, it has never been out of print in over a century.
