"Anne of Green Gables" by L. M. Montgomery is a novel published in 1908. When eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables farm by mistake, the Cuthbert siblings had expected a boy to help with farmwork. Instead, they receive a red-haired, talkative girl with a vivid imagination and strong opinions about spelling her name with an "e." The story follows Anne's adventures as she navigates friendships, schoolyard rivalries, domestic mishaps, and her dreams of a brighter future in rural Prince Edward Island.
