Anne of Green Gables

One of my treasured memories growing up was spending many a day sitting in my room or on the veranda on a lazy summer afternoon, reading. I read a lot of books then and still do.

Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery was one of the first series of books that found a place on my bookshelf.

About the book:

"Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, brother and sister, live at Green Gables, a farm in Avonlea.

They decide to adopt a boy from an orphanage to help out on the farm however, through a series of mishaps, the person who ends up under their roof is a precocious girl of eleven named Anne Shirley.

Anne is bright and quick, eager to please and talkative, her pale countenance dotted with freckles, with her long braids of red hair. Although wishing she was named Cordelia, she insists that if you are to call her Anne, it must be spelt with an 'E', as that spelling is "so much more distinguished."

Being a child of imagination, however, Anne takes much joy in life, and adapts quickly.

She is something of a chatterbox, which initially drives the prim, duty-driven Marilla to distraction, although shy Matthew falls for her immediately.

You'll love Anne immediately! The story is refreshing and a must read for every girl approaching the teenage years."
