The first book in the Anne Shirley series. The Anne Shirley novels are a classic coming-of-age story filled with ups and downs, sorrows and joys. When red-headed Anne Shirley arrives on Prince Edward Island, she is certain she has finally found the home she always dreamed of. Anne is an orphan who never had a childhood, for in both foster homes and the orphanage she worked like an adult, received no affection, and her life until now had been a "graveyard of buried hopes." But her new foster parents are perplexed, as they had requested a boy to help them on their farm at Green Gables. At first, the girl seems strange to them and constantly gets into trouble, but in time, Anne's irrepressible optimism, vivid imagination, and good nature win them and the residents of Avonlea over.
