PAPER
• 464 PAGES
The immensely popular children's novel set on Prince Edward Island. Anne, an 11-year-old orphan, moves to the small town of Avonlea when she is adopted by an elderly brother and sister. Hoping for a strong young man who can perform chores, the Cuthberts are doubtful at first of how helpful Anne will be. But Anne is a girl of immense spirit, someone who will change the town of Avonlea forever. This classic story continues in seven further books (it sounds like a surfeit of sequels, but fans can't get enough of Anne -- and many of her fans are adults!).
