Summary: A great classic-one of my favorite books!!
Comment: This book is really funny and also keeps you interested so that you won't put down the book till you have read it all!
The book is about an orphaned 11-year old girl named Anne Shirley. She has red hair that matches her temper, is skinny, and also has an unstoppable mouth! The two things she most wishes for is for a permanent and wonderful home and the other wish is that she becomes beautiful when she grows up. She has big imagination and a enormous heart which charms everyone she meets.
Marilla Cupberth and her brother Matthew are getting old and Matthew needs some help on their farm called Green Gables which is on and island called Prince Edward Island. Matthew and Marilla decides to adopt a boy around 11 or 12 to help Matthew. Some sort of queer mistake happens, Matthew calles it Providence later on, when Anne Shirley is sent from the orphanage instead of the boy they were expecting. Matthew figures that he couldn't leave her waiting at the train platform and brings her back to Green Gables, listening to her relentless tongue helplessly but rather enjoyingly.
Marilla is shocked and proposes to send her back to the orphanage the very next morning. Anne, being very happy about living at Green Gables, is very depressed. Marilla and Anne goes back to the orphanage where they discover that another woman who is very strict had been wanting a girl around 11 or 12. The orphanage lady quickly decides that Anne would be that girl. Marilla feels rather sorry for Anne and brings her back to Green Gables.
Anne, after being able to spend another night, is overjoyed as Marilla decides to let her stay permanently. Matthew is overjoyed too because he had somehow liked Anne's chattering. She meets a "busom friend" called Diana Barry at a picnic,cracks her slate over a boy called Gilbert Blythe who had teased her about her red hair in her first day of school, falls of the ridgepole of the roof of a house because of a dare, and dyes her hair green because she had wanted to make her red hair black! Fortunately, she does not stay a child of trouble, though she does stay a person who has a tongue which is used a lot. She passes an hard exam to collage and becomes first in every subject, always tieing with her hated rivalry Gilbert Blythe, who she has a grudge on since that day when he had called her hair "Carrots!". She also becomes a beautiful lady who has now auburn hair and no sign of her hated red hair. Marilla and Matthew has every right to be proud of her and you'll be proud with them as your read this charming book!
As I said before, this book is funny and also is soo interesting. I read this over 5 times and it has still not become boring. You'll love Anne Shirley forever as and after you read this book!

Summary: Children's Literature at it's height
Comment: A few weeks ago, I got really sick of today's children's literature. I had read enough mysteries and trashy books about romance to last me a lifetime. So I wanted something else to read, something well-written with a good plot and lifelike characters. I had to look no further than the first book I picked up- Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery.
Anne of Green Gables is the first book in the Anne of Green Gables series. It takes place, as most of L. M. Montgomery's books do, on Prince Edward Island in Canada. This particular story takes place in the town of Avonlea. It follows young Anne Shirley, an orphan brought to Green Gables to help Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert on their farm. Much to Anne's dismay, Marilla tells her that they wanted a boy to help around the farm, not a girl. However, Marilla changes her mind and decides to keep the dynamic young girl who would become Anne of Green Gables.
This novel is incredibly written, with well-developed characters and an intricate plot. I absolutely loved it. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great example of children's literature at its height.
