Anne of Avonlea

The Girl from Green Gables It seemed only yesterday that the skinny, freckle-faced redhead had first come to the island. Now here was Anne, teaching at the Avonlea school, sixteen, pretty, and all grown up. Well, not quite grown up. In fact, Anne was not very different from her restless young pupils -- mischievous and spirited as ever and headed for hilarious predicaments with a cranky new neighbor, a hungry Jersey cow, a parrot with an embarrassing vocabulary, and a truly dreadful mistake! The Anne Books Delightful, unpredictable Anne Shirley has been charming readers of all ages, in every part of the world, for over three-quarters of a century. Bestsellers from the moment they were published, the Anne Of Green Gables novels have allowed generations of children to grow up right along with Anne. From the Trade Paperback edition.
