Anne of Green Gables

by Deborah G. Felder (Adapted by), L.M. Montgomery (Original Author)

Anne (with an 'e' of course) starts out as a mistake. The elderly Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert had planned on adopting a boy to help Matthew with the chores on their Prince Edward Island farm. What are they to do with the red-haired, high-spirited girl who arrives instead?
Anne Shirley, with her boundless imagination and heart, slowly brings joy into the narrow lives of those around her, and into the lives of readers who have delighted in her adventures since Lucy Maud Montgomery began writing about her in 1905.
Anne's courage, her enthusiasm, and her ability to love, have made her one of literature's most beloved characters in Canada and around the world.
This beautifully illustrated volume, with a foreword by Kate Butler MacDonald, one of L. M. Montgomery's grandchildren, is a treasure for those who find in Anne a familiar friend as well as for those who are discovering this "kindred spirit" for the first time. "From the Hardcover edition."

I really loved Anne of Green Gables. 5 stars is the highest rating here on Goodreads, but if i could i would give it 6 stars.

Read it to my daughter (7). Had all the pieces I remember, but really really, really, short. She liked it though. Maybe time to read her the original.

A very sweet adaptation of the original. Made for a nice read aloud for my kiddos.

It was ok!

[Marianne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Never having read it as a child, I am so glad to have read it to C. A classic that stands the test of time.

It was worth a 4 star rating because it was a little different so I thing it deserves more than a 3 but less than a 5 so it deserves a 4.
