When eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to live on a farm with siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, Anne finds herself in a real home for the first time in her life. Fiery and spirited, she certainly isn't the sturdy boy they had planned to adopt. Despite her mischief and affinity for finding trouble, the longer Anne stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for the Cuthberts to imagine life without her.

Exploring the time-honored themes of imagination versus reality, the pressures of social expectations, and the differences between true emotion and mere sentiment, this unique collector's edition presents L. M. Montgomery's beloved tale of friendship and family in a giftable new way.

This edition of Anne of Green Gables is part of a four-volume collection, which also includes The Secret Garden, Winnie-the-Pooh and Other Delightful Stories, and Peter Pan.

L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author who published 20 novels and hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays. She is best known for the Anne of Green Gables series. Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) on Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she grew up in relative isolation and loneliness, developing her creativity with imaginary friends and dreaming of becoming a published writer. Her first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and was an immediate success, establishing Montgomery's career as a writer, which she continued for the remainder of her life.
