Anne of Green Gables (Dover Children's Thrift Classics)

Quite well made, sturdy copies of the entire Anne of Green Gables series. Should last to be passed around and be enjoyed by many readers - those who will be entertained by them for the first time, and those who want a stroll down memory lane.

I really like these abridged version of the children's classic. They are relatively inexpensive and not to over-whelming for a young reader. My daughter is 7 and reading on a 3rd to 4th grade level. She reads the Bible, the newspaper, etc. She has read the unabridged version of C. S. Lewis's, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." However, these little books keep her reading more and more.

One of the great children's (and occasionally adults) novels from the turn of the twentieth century. Written by the Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery and recounting the adventures of Shirley,a young orphan girl. It has sold over 50 million copies since publication and used as the basis of many films and television series over the last hundred years. Kevin J

I purchased this book for my 10 year old granddaughter and gave it to her along with some items from Prince Edward Island. She is interested in getting some of the companion stories and having some history about the author and where she lived (pictures) it made the story come alive for her!

I didn't realize it was a children's version when I ordered it. Next time I'll be more careful and order the adult set.

Nice adaptation, although length is the major change made here, and if you're reading with your child, you might want to go ahead and buy the entire text. My five year old, my husband, and I have read this one several times over, and our daughter compares all sorts of things in our lives to the goings-on in Avonlea.

I'm a huge fan of this story and am currently reading this version to my 6 year old. She loves it also.

Good, classic book! Bought this as a gift for my pre-teen granddaughter! She's reading it now! Will be buying more classics for her!
