This 1908 novel was written by Canadian Lucy M. Montgomery. It is set in the picturesque countryside of Prince Edward Island. The story goes that, Anne, a young orphan, is adopted by on older couple with the aim of her helping with the chores. The plot develops around her life as a schoolgirl, and her many comings and goings with the townsfolk. One thing I very much liked about this book is that Anne had enthusiasm for her life even though she was a quirky, red--headed orphan. The author spent time in Saaskatchewan, and it is my belief her time there might have had an impact on her writing. This book went on to become an international bestseller. Overall, I very much liked this book that was developed into a movie & tv series. I give it a 5 out of 5.
