Anne of Green Gables Novels and Chronicles of Avonlea are certainly the most beloved books of all time, classics of Children's/Young Adult Literature. They recount the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in Prince Edward Island. The books depict how this talkative, imaginative, red-headed girl makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the small town... The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character.
