Summary Of The Book

Published over a century ago, Anne Of Green Gables captivates the minds of the young and old alike, even today. This is the story of a young orphan girl named Anne Shirley. The Cuthbert siblings live in a farm on the Prince Edward Island and intend to adopt a boy to help them run their farm. Instead, Anne is sent to them from an orphanage and so the story begins.

Anne is a joyful, dreamy, and talkative girl. Anne Of Green Gables traces her childhood as she goes to the local school, befriends Diana Barry, becomes hostile towards Gilbert Blythe, indulges in naughty little shenanigans, and relishes her playtime.

She grows up to be an extremely quick-witted girl who goes on to earn a teaching license. Towards the end, the book takes a rather poignant turn wherein the Cuthbert siblings grow old and face a tough time while Anne is always there to help them, thanks to her kind nature.

Anne Of Green Gables has been translated into 20 languages worldwide. It has been adapted into multiple television series over the years.
