Anne, a young orphan from the fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia (based upon the real community of New London), is sent to Prince Edward Island after a childhood spent in strangers' homes and orphanages. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their fifties and sixties, had decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm. They live at Green Gables, their Avonlea farmhouse on Prince Edward Island. Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne Shirley. Anne is described as bright and quick, eager to please, talkative, and extremely imaginative. She has a pale face with freckles and usually braids her red hair. Marilla at first says the girl must return to the orphanage, but after a few days she decides to let her stay. Marilla feels that she could be a good influence on the girl and had also learned that another disagreeable woman in town might take Anne in instead. As a child of imagination, Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her talkativeness initially drives the prim, duty-driven Marilla to distraction, although Matthew falls for her charm immediately. Anne says that they are "kindred spirits." • Each book is elegantly formatted for ease of use and enjoyment on your Kindle device. • Free Audiobooks included • Free Bonus work : Little Women by Louisa May Alcott List of books: Anne of Green Gables Series • ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, • ANNE OF AVONLEA, • ANNE OF THE ISLAND, • ANNE'S HOUSE OF DREAMS, • RAINBOW VALLEY, • RILLA OF INGLESIDE Related books featuring Anne Shirley • CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA Bonus work Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
