Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables

“Matthew Cuthbert, who’s that?” ”Where is the boy?”

“There wasn’t any boy, there was only her.”

While Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are waiting for the arrival of a boy orphan they are taken by surprise by the arrival of Anne Shirley, a girl. Amused by Anne, Matthew takes a liking to her and does not want to return her to the orphan asylum. Marilla also does not want to give her away so they finally have to keep her and Anne has a new home. But Anne is very peculiar in many ways. Will she fit in Avonlea? Nobody knows.

I look on this book with favor because it is humorous in every way. I encourage you to read this book as it is very delightful and is appropriate for almost all ages. The most fun part is Anne’s mistakes, she does something mistakenly and later on hers and Marilla’s reaction is very fun to read. This book is also very good for children who want to improve their vocabulary as Anne is peculiar in the way of using too big and complicated words for her age. There are also hidden life lessons in Anne’s mistakes with being humorous. There is whole series which follows this book, with the next book being ‘Anne of Avonlea’.
