The Anne of Green Gables Collection brings together the first three books from the enduring Anne of Green Gables series by L. M. Montgomery, in a beautiful gift edition.
When eleven-year-old Anne Shirley is mistakenly sent to Green Gables Farm in place of the boy they requested, elderly brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to give the little girl a chance. Full of chatter and equipped with a vivid imagination, Anne makes steadfast friends and classroom enemies as she embarks on her new life in Avonlea.
First published between 1908 and 1915, the first three volumes of the Anne of Green Gables series tell the fanciful tale of how a stubborn and wildly imaginative orphan whirls her way into the peaceful Avonlea community. Armed with a quick wit and fiery personality, it is not long before Anne has to tackle life’s many challenges as she grows from a young girl into a charming young lady.
Read & Co. Children’s is proudly republishing the Anne of Green Gables Collection, which includes the stories Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Anne of the Island in a beautifully made keepsake edition for the re-reader, complete with a brand-new introductory biography of the author.
Key features:
“Anne of Green Gables is one of those flesh and blood characters whom we cherish in the quiet places of our hearts kept for the dearest mortals we know.” – Bliss Carmen, 1908
“Those who have not acquainted themselves with the stories of the brilliant Canadian novelist should do so at once – her novels are full of human people with whom you can laugh and sigh.” – Hamilton Daily Times, 1913
This Read & Co. Children’s edition of the Anne of Green Gables Collection brings together the first three of L. M. Montgomery’s eight Anne novels in a single volume: Anne of Green Gables (1908), Anne of Avonlea (1909), and Anne of the Island (1915).
Together these three books carry Anne Shirley from her arrival as the red-haired eleven-year-old orphan at Green Gables, through her years as a young schoolteacher in Avonlea, to her studies and friendships at Redmond College, and the blossoming romance between her and Gilbert Blythe before she embarks on adulthood.
We are proud to present the first three wonderful instalments of Anne’s story in a beautiful gift edition for the re-reader who first met Anne in childhood, in a volume built to be read and returned to over a lifetime.
“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
– L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
– L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, 1908
The Anne of Green Gables Collection brings together Montgomery’s first three Anne novels in a single volume: Anne of Green Gables (1908), Anne of Avonlea (1909), and Anne of the Island (1915). The three were written across the seven years of Montgomery’s career and published in chronological order. They were so successful that Montgomery became the most famous Canadian fictional character of her generation. Read together, the three books carry Anne from her arrival as an eleven-year-old orphan to her engagement at the close of her college years – a complete first arc, ahead of the five later Anne novels that take her into marriage, motherhood, and the end of the series in Rilla of Ingleside.
