L.M. Montgommery’s immortal Anne of Green Gables has been delighting readers of all ages and in all parts of the world for more than 60 years. The story of this mischievous talkative, red-haired orphan was inspired by a faded news clipping which read: Elderly couple apply to Orphan Asylum for a boy. By mistake a girls is sent … Green Gables was an immediate best-seller and more than a million copies of of the English edition alone, published in 1925 and since reprinted 46 times, have been sold.

This is one of a succession of sequels which continue the story of Anne as a child, a young woman, and then herself a mother and although L.M. Montgomery did write other novels, it is her Anne books that enjoy enduring popularity.
