The story is about a sister and a brother named Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, and they send word to adopt a boy from an orphanage to help Matthew on the farm. However, their request is mixed up and they get a girl, named Anne Shirley, instead. Anne is imaginative and talks a lot, unlike Marilla and Matthew. Will they get along? Read the book to find out…
Anne of Green Gables is a heartwarming story that places strong emphasis on the importance of family and friendship. Set in the picturesque Prince Edward Island, Canada, the novel has an old-fashioned charm, both in its setting and in its use of older English vocabulary, which can be a bit challenging at times. However, it is rich with beautiful words and phrases that enhance the story’s appeal. While the book is uplifting, it also carries a touch of sadness as it explores themes of hardship, belonging, and self-image—particularly through Anne’s struggles with feeling unwanted and her distress over her “carrot-red hair” and perceived ugliness. Despite these moments of sorrow, the story is ultimately warm, poignant, and well worth reading.
