Here is the book's description:
Among the most popular and enduring children's books of the first half of the century, Anne of Green Gables tells the story of an endearingly talkative and precocious 11-year-old orphan who comes to live on the farm of an elderly brother and sister on Canada's Prince Edward Island. Red-haired and irrepressible, Anne causes a major disruption in the quiet lives of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, the people who take her in, but her honesty, intelligence and good heart soon make her the light of their lives and the object of great affection in her community. Newly abridged and enhanced with six new illustrations, this warm and nostalgic tale will enchant readers today as it has since its first publication in 1908.
