Classic Starts®: Anne of Green Gables

The beloved classic tale of the spunky, redheaded orphan who can’t seem to stay out of trouble—specially adapted for young readers.

Lucy Maud Montgomerys classic tale, with its engaging heroine and evocative description of the Prince Edward Island landscape, never fails to delight youngsters. When Matthew Cuthbert goes to the train station to pick up the orphan he and his sister Marilla plan to adopt, he expects to meet a boy who can help on the family farm. Instead its Anne—a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced 11-year-old little girl who transforms the Cuthberts life forever and fills it with love and joy.
