Anne of Green Gables was written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, a Canadian who lived on Prince Edward Island. Published in 1908, the novel tells the story of redheaded Anne Shirley, an imaginative 11 year old who comes from an orphanage to live on a farm on Prince Edward Island. The owners of the farm are unmarried brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged couple who initially hope to adopt a boy to help them with the farm work. Instead, they end up with Anne, who hates her name, freckles and red hair.
The novel details Anne's life on the farm, her relationship with Matthew and Marilla, her many friendships, and her burgeoning educational successes. Over the century since its publication, Anne of Green Gabes has become one of the most popular children's novels in the world.
