Anne of Green Gables

The adventures of high-spirited Anne, which have inspired multiple TV and movie adaptations, are now available in an unabridged, illustrated cloth hardcover edition in Union Square and Co.'s Children's Signature Clothbound Classics series. When Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert ask the orphanage for a boy to help on the farm, they are surprised to receive Anne-a talkative, dreamy, red-haired, freckle-faced girl. Despite Anne's imaginative antics, her presence fills the small town of Avonlea with joy and laughter. Filled with evocative descriptions of Prince Edward Island, this beloved classic is now available in a collectible clothbound edition, complete with black-and-white illustrations that bring the story to life.

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada. She left to attend college, but later returned to teach and write stories set on her home island. Anne of Green Gables, the first in a series of "Anne" books by Montgomery, was published in 1908 to immediate success and continues to be a perennial favorite.
