Anne of Green Gables (Townsend Library Edition)

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert need someone to help work their farm near the little village of Avonlea. So they decide to “take in” an orphan from a distant city. They ask for a strong, quiet, levelheaded boy. But instead, they are sent Anne Shirley—a strong-willed, talkative, redheaded girl with a quick temper, a wild imagination, and a mind of her own. How will living in this quiet little village change Anne? And how will Anne change the life of the village?
