Anne of Green Gables (Wordsworth Collector's Editions) Hardcover

by L.M. Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne's influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love. Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.

One of the most enchanting books I've ever read. I will read it again for the masterful use of vocabulary.

This was such an incredibly lovely reread. I've been having a very messy time existing and this has honestly saved me from spiralling further.
Also this edition is so so stunning and I lived annotating every little bit of it.
I love the characters and the writing style and the way every page is a celebration on the worlds beauty, it's such a romantic experience and I just !!!! Love !!!!
I think everyone in the world needs to read this at least once.
Any way, I wanna live at Green Gables.

incredible book

I cannot not love this book. It is so pure and childish and all that i have ever hoped to see in this world. It is the opposite to cruel, even though cruel things happen. It is the synonymous of candor and trueness, even though unfair things do go on.

I read this with my kids because it was suggested by our homeschool writing curriculum (Writing With Ease), but I did not expect to love it as much as I did! It was really quite good!
