As soon as Anne Shirley arrived at the snug,  white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she  wanted to stay forever... but would the Cuthberts  send her back to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not  what they expected -- a skinny girl with decidedly  red hair and a temper to match. If only she could  convince them to let her stay, she'd try very hard  not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes or blurt  out the very first thing she had to say. Anne was  not like anybody else, everyone at Green Gables  agreed; she was special -- a girl with an enormous  imagination. This orphan girl dreamed of the day  when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables.

    This was a reread. I read the book when I was young. I felt I was meeting an old friend. While the language snd descriptions from a slower, quieter time of life may frustrate the modern mind, the sentiments and values portrayed by Anne are as valid today as ever - perhaps more so, as we live in an age of selfishness and greed.

    It is a Classic for young readers, but is one of those books that reminds me page after page why I'm so addicted to reading.
