Anne of Green Gables Coloring Book

Here is the description of the book:

Anne Shirley, the precocious and engaging heroine of one of the most popular and enduring children's stories of the 20th century, is about to capture the hearts of a new generation of fans in this charmingly rendered coloring book.

Described by Mark Twain as "the sweetest creation of child life yet written," Lucy Maud Montgomery's bittersweet tale recounts the adventures of a talkative red-headed orphan who invades the quiet lives of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, an elderly brother and sister who own Green Gables, a farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island.

Filmed, staged and translated into many languages, Anne of Green Gables comes to life here in 24 delightfully drawn tableaux depicting Anne's arrival at Green Gables, her classroom scuffle with a rather opinionated young boy, the young lady's perilous journey in a leaky boat, her unceremonious fall from a rooftop and much more.

Barbara Steadman's captivating illustrations and Bob Blaisdell's newly adapted text retain the lively spirit of the beloved story that continues to enchant readers as it has since it was first published in 1908.

Original Dover (1995) publication, 24 black-and-white line illustrations. Color illustrations on front, back and inside covers. Adapted by Bob Blaisdell. Illustrated by Barbara Steadman. 48pp. 8 1/4 × 11. Paperbound.
