From the moment red-headed orphan Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, her imagination, her temper, and her relentless spirit carry the reader through childhood, schooldays, marriage, and motherhood across eight novels written between 1908 and 1939.
Browse the complete Anne of Green Gables series, the eight much-loved novels by L. M. Montgomery, gathered here in beautiful collectable editions from Read & Co. Children’s. Whether you are buying the whole collection for a young reader, returning to Avonlea yourself, or building a matching gift set to treasure, every title from the Anne of Green Gables series has been thoughtfully republished with the full unabridged text, presenting editions that are as lovely to keep as they are to give.
Most new readers start with Anne of Green Gables and follow Anne’s life as it unfolds. Montgomery wrote the books out of sequence, so the order they were published in differs from the order of Anne’s life. We set out both, with summaries and dates, in our full guide to the Anne of Green Gables books in order.
Set on Prince Edward Island in the fictional community of Avonlea, the series begins as a children’s classic and grows into an eight book series full of friendship, family, and unrelenting courage. Alongside the novels sit two related collections of Avonlea short stories, drawn from the same world – The Chronicles of Avonlea, and The Further Chronicles of Avonlea.
Montgomery’s writing has kept Anne in print for more than a century, and the Anne novels are generally suited to readers of ten and above while remaining a favourite of adults re-reading them. Readers who love Anne often enjoy other children’s classics such as Little Women and The Secret Garden.
Every book in this Anne of Green Gables series is published by Read & Co. Children’s and is designed to be collected and kept over a lifetime of reading. Our editions make a beautiful complete matching set for a shelf, or a thoughtful gift for a reader discovering Avonlea for the first time. Buy the books individually, or build the full collection over time.
