Anne Shirley, the orphan child who brings happiness and love into the lives of her foster family, is among the most beloved heroines in every of literature. This wildly imaginative, red-headed chatterbox tries to fit in to the narrow confines of Victorian targets, but her exuberant soul keeps leaping delightfully beyond the bounds.

When Marilla Cuthbert and her sibling Matthew find they are getting as well old to function the farm by themselves, they decide to adopt an orphan youngster to help out. To their dismay, they are sent a girl by mistake-an impetuous lady using a hopeless lack of manners. Pragmatic Marilla is determined to return her, but warm-hearted Matthew urges that she be given an opportunity to demonstrate herself. The challenge laid down because of this eleven-year-old girl-and the mishaps that befall her before she wins the heart of her foster mother-make to get a delightfully charming story.
