Life is forever changed at Green Gables, a tranquil farm on Canada's Prince Edward Island, with the arrival of a redheaded chatterbox named Anne. The spirited, precocious 11-year-old orphan finds 'scope for imagination" everywhere she looks, transforming the lives of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, her elderly guardians, with her merry doings and misadventures. Anne — spelled with an "e," as she gravely informs new acquaintances — builds a world of enchantment around Green Gables and its surrounding woodlands, lakes, and valleys. Thanks to the freckle-faced girl's imaginative musings, the rustic region's natural wonders blossom into a fairyland of endless romance. Anne's inspired prattle, goodwill, and joie de vivre win her a warm circle of friends, just as they have won the hearts of readers around the world. Since its first appearance in 1908, the novel has led generations of children to laugh and cry — but mostly laugh — along with this beloved story's vivacious heroine. Now this inexpensive, abridged edition introduces new readers to the ageless charm of a fanciful world made real by love and friendship. The inspiration for 2016 PBS movie and the 2017 CBC/Netflix Anne mini-series. Review: Stories as lovely as ever - 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. Review: Anne of Green Gables - 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.

Stories as lovely as ever
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.

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

Granddaughter loved it
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!

Children's version
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.
