Product Description
"She'll have to go back."
Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert had decided to adopt an orphan. They wanted a nice sturdy boy to help Matthew with the farm chores. The orphanage sent a girl instead - a mischievous, talkative redhead who the Cuthberts thought would be no use at all. But as soon as Anne arrived at the snug, white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she wanted to stay forever. And the longer Anne stayed, the harder it was for anyone to imagine Green Gables without her.

As an avid Anne fan for many years, I share Natasha's misgivings about the cover of this version of the book (see comment above). Anne was a skinny redhead with freckles - her red hair was the cause of many of her misadventures and her "life long sorrow", so to represent her as a buxom blond is a blatant distortion of her Anne-ness. Her story is one which will hopefully be enjoyed and adored for many generations to come, but please publish it with an accurate picture!

A fabulous story. I was enthralled as a child and now as a mother it is one of those books I couldn't wait for my girls to grow up and read. Reading age ability is probably about 10 / 11 years and probably a girl favorite. It is a classic up there with the Narnia series, the Borrowers, Swallows & Amazons, Stig of the Dump etc. I have yet to read the other 2 in the series: Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island. We can share them -fab.

Very glad to see Amazon have taken down the cover which has caused so much offence. Is it too much to hope that's the last we'll see of a buxom blonde Anne Shirley?
These are wonderful books which have sold 50 million copies worldwide and been adored by readers for over a century. Let's see Anne as L.M. Montgomery wrote about her all those years ago - a redheaded eleven-year-old orphan in nineteenth century Canada.
