Anne of Green Gables: 1 - Softcover

Reseña del editor

'Anne of Green Gables' tells the tale of a little red headed orphaned girl, mistakenly sent to the Cuthbert’s farm on Prince Edward Island. Anne’s strong character and vivid imagination both help and hinder her as she makes her way through childhood in the pretty little town of Avonlea.

This early work by L. M. Montgomery was originally published in 1908 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name.
