Description: vintage collectable book: children's classic ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L. M. Montgomery In the small town of Avonlea, there is a farm called Green Gables. Two people, Marilla Cuthbert and her brother, Matthew, live there alone. They want to adopt a boy to live with them, but instead they get a skinny, freckle-faced, free-spirited orphan named Anne. Anne is always getting into trouble in fun and unexpected ways, from jumping on beds to accidentally turning her red hair green. At first, Marilla and Matthew don’t know what to think of her, but soon they can’t imagine life without her. Through thick and thin, good times and bad, life at Green Gables will never be dull again!

I COMBINE POSTAGE Lucy Maud Montgomery OBE (1874-1942), publicly known as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 500 short stories and poems. Because many of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, Canada and the Canadian province became literary landmarks. She was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935. * Seller’s Condition rating for vintage and collectable books: *AA down to *BB – cover and pages are mostly clean and unmarked.
