The Cuthberts are in for a shock. They are expecting an orphan boy to help with the work at Green Gables - but a skinny red-haired girl turns up instead. Highly spirited Anne Shirley charms her way into the Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter, and soon it's impossible to imagine life without her.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of the book that introduced the world to Anne Shirley, this new edition features an Introduction by the award-winning creator of the characters of Charlie and Lola, Clarice Bean, and Hubert Horatio Bobton-Trent.
