Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery Book Summary

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Mark Twain called the protagonist of this 1908 book the “most lovable child in fiction.” Anne Shirley, a hopeful 11-year-old, is an orphan. The beloved novel begins as Anne is (wrongly) assigned to the care of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had asked for a boy to help work on Green Gables, their family farm in Canada’s Prince Edward Island province.

Initially disappointed, Matthew and Marilla are quickly won by Anne’s spirited personality - as are we. Anne wants nothing more than a home, yet try as she might to fit in, her manners are lacking. She shouts in the face of injustice. She talks constantly, often about imaginary friends and made-up events. She accidentally serves wine to her first real friend, sending her home drunk. Will Anne’s irrepressible spunk keep her from finding a permanent place at Green Gables?

For over 100 years, readers have fallen in love with Canadian author L.M. Montgomery’s coming-of-age story and its freckly, redheaded heroine. Over the course of the 11 books in the series, we delight in watching Anne grow from an impulsive, charming child into a mature and kind young woman.

Yay. I am exited to read this! My friends tell me this is a good book and I saw the great reviews!!! 😄😄😄😄😄

Anne of Green Gables. Love Anne and this series of books. Great for young readers, as well as those more mature.

Such a beautiful and touching story!. This is a must read for everyone.

awsome awsome awsome!. AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME! Sighned by AWSOME GIRL!

Anne of Green Gables. An Orphan who triumphed over adversity, pride and tragedy, to become someone whose dreams made her a success!!!

Love it. I saw the serie of Netflix and is literally the same story of Anne

Anne with an E. What a wonderful tale. I have loved this book since my childhood.

Lovely Reading. What a beautiful and inspirational story. I’m a lover of artfully framed words, and this book does not disappoint me. However, I wish proof reading had been better used!

Totally Delightful in a Not Always Delightful Modern World. Anne (with an 'E') is charming as the loquacious girl first arriving at Green Gables and equally charming as a wise and endearing young woman. Don't miss it, not matter your age. This 'old dog' has learned a few new tricks from reading this book.

Classic then and now. This is a classic book that I never read as a child so I decided to do as an older adult. Even though this is a children’s book it was written well enough to keep me reading. Red-headed Anne is a well written character that portrays several good attributes, such as determination to reach her goals, willingness to be helpful and healthy positivity. I don’t know if this book is still a book children are assigned to read but it certainly has a wholesome plot for children and is much better than some of the ‘newer’ books our children are reading today.

Anne of Green Gables. Wonderful book with lovable characters and scenery. I didn’t want it to end.

Loved it. I really enjoyed this book, but what was alarming was Matthew’s death. I enjoyed the Netflix series and decided to give the book a read. I’m glad I did!

Matthew Cuthburt’s Death. Can we all just agree that when Matthew died, 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥?! Matthew was indeed one of my favorite characters and when he died, holy cow, I cried as of he was a real person. It hurt because during that chapter I could only think about how good he was to Anne. Rest in Peace Matthew Cuthbert. 😔

Better than the Movie. Reminds me of my Grandmother and her sister.

Wonderful 📚. I loved this book. It is one of the best classical books you will ever read. I was so sad at the end, but it was still really good! You will not regret reading this book.

Love This!. Always love reading this series!

AWESOME. I watched the show before the book and seeing the very slight differences was soooo fun

What a wonderful book 📕.. A little orphan girl 👧🏼 like Anne of Green Gables herself has a very big imagination 💭. Annie Mautner

Best book ever. One of the best things about this book in my opinion is how the author really brings the story to life with how she describes the world so you can really see it in your minds eye. would recommend this book to any age definitely. one of my all time favorites

Great Story!. A true classic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this!

A must read. A wonderful childhood classic

Beautiful book!. This book was a great master piece! I will be reading the whole saga, it literally made laugh, cry and have so many emotions!

Excellent book. One of the best books I’ve read. I would enjoy reading it again. It’s one of those books you feel connected to and laugh and cry as you read it.

Anne of Green Gables. No thank you

I love Anne of Green Gables. I know this story by heart, yet I love yo read it again and again.

Anne of Green Gables. Imaginations As full of revelations Anne of Green Gables Bette with an e 😂😘

Uplifting positive story. An enjoyable light read. I had affection for the characters. Suitable for all ages. Parents reading it may find a different message than will a teen.

Awesome. A beautiful story. I saw the TV adaptations first, both the older movies and the more recent episodes released by Netflix. The book is quite different in some ways and is really worth reading. The writing is delightful and wise. Awesome book!

Amazing. I’ve watched the movie 3 times over and over again on Netflix and I thought it would be nice if I also read the book. I must say that I am left breathless. The book was beautiful but I must note that the book ended quite abruptly. It’s painful not knowing what will happen next. I dp hope the author wrote a part two.

Wonderful. It’s a must read for everyone. So much love and happiness in each page.

Classic!. I so enjoyed this exciting and colorful story. Anne’s energy and enthusiasm for life is touching. It reminded me of my childhood adventures. A recommended read for any age!

It was enjoyable to read. I like 👍 the storyline of the book

AWESOME!!!!!!. I watched the show but I didn’t watch the whole thing but the book is good and the book and show are amazing and at some point my sister started crying because Anne left and me and my mom started laughing🤣

Delightful. A lovely book about a delightful girl. Well written, easy to enjoy. Highly recommended.

A must read, Anne will grow on you!. Such a sweet story. At first I did not like Anne but boy did she grow on me by the end of the book.

sweet. such a warm compelling story.

Anne of green gables. “For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self-denial, anxiety and discouragement” As I read this book I fell more and more in love with it truly one of a kind. such a wonderful story that through it all makes you smile with such a wonder feeling inside yourself. Just read it won’t disappoint!!!

Classic for a reason. Excellent story that still holds up well today. Very touching.

Loved this. I liked the depth of the characters and descriptions so vivid I could almost see and smell the flowers and landscape. I wish I’d read this as a girl but perhaps I could not have appreciated it as I have now. I am sure I will read this again in the future. My only wish is that it had gone on further into Anne’s life. I did not expect to love this book as much as I do.

Where are the editors?. The book was wonderful. But somebody sure does need to fix the typos in this edition!

Best book ever known to mankind. I absolutely love Anne of Green Gables and anyone who dares to insult this beautiful piece of artwork should be afraid because I will find you and make you like the book. I have read every single book in the series and it was so much fun. I read these books in 5th grade and it’s a good book series for people around that age especially. I mean I personally think Anne of Green Gables is an enjoyable read for all ages regardless of what some people may think *cough cough* people with terrible taste and no sense of appreciation for fine literature. I mean god just because you can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s not good. And if you can’t understand it shouldn’t you make in effort to try to understand it? I read little women in 4th grade and sure it was confusing cuz duh I was like 9 but I read it again and understood more and now I actually like it. So if you don’t like the book, read it again ( that was not a suggestion that was a command just FYI). Happy reading! Hole you guys enjoy !!! 😆🙃 BTW I’m not a crazy psycho who needs help it’s just that I’m super protective of this book cuz it’s one of my favs and I LOVE books all I ever do is read, I mean, my username ain’t book addict for nothing. Also I’m not this bossy ISTG and besides I mean like I’m 13 what can you expect hormones and all.

Good read. A good read

Anne of the green gables. Enchanting and a fun adventure

A favorite. PSA! There are 8 books in this series, definitely read the first 3 or 4. They start to get boring after those though with half the books being about characters other than Anne. I've loved the 1985 Canadian adaptation s of Anne of Green Gables for years (give those a watch if you've seen and loved Netflix's Anne with and E(I like them so much I couldn't get into Anne with an E because the actors just didn't feel right)).Finally got around to reading the books last year and absolutely loved the first half of the series but have yet to finish the last two books.

I LOVE IT!!!. It’s my fav book of all time the girl ANNE spelled with an E is so imaginative an funny she’s my fav book character of ALL TIME

Charming and witty. I laughed out loud every so often and I texted funny lines to my friends. The story is innocent and Anne is likeable. I’m glad I read it and I’ll continue the series.

Ann of Green Gables. How did it take me 50 years to read this classic? I was sad it ended at page 777! What a masterpiece and delightful book!

wonderful classic. i used to watch the tv show as a child, and watched the netflix adaptation, but never got to read the story. i enjoyed reading about anne and her life in green gables. the descriptions gave life and scenery to the story. truly a great classic story.

Timeless tale. What a gem. Read this to my children for night time reading and it was a delightful story!

Woo!!. Absolutely beautiful! Anne is such a lovely and fun character, she had me entertained the entire book. I love how childish and free she was and how determined she was to get what she wanted. Matthew is such a sweet character, he weighs out Marilla’s “coldness” (she’s not entirely horrible) perfectly. I can’t believe it took me so long to pick up this book:(

Good. Great

Such excellent writing keeping you mesmerised throughout. Fantastic read! So much joy and laughter throughout! I couldn’t put it down. So wish there was follow up! Excellent 5*👏🏻

Boring. I fell asleep reading this

One of my favourite books I’ve read.. Such an amazing storyline and concept that ‘sometimes overriding change is good’. I have watched the series for this on Netflix and I fell in love with the characters and setting. No words can describe how I feel about it ; each time I go to watch the episodes again, I feel like tearing up. So here I am reading the books, which are slightly different from the series as it was modernised, and I am not disappointed. We need more books like this!! Such a beautiful story.

Classic kids book. Really enjoyed this but it got really sad. Well written and very funny for such an old book.

The most wonderful book. You will not be disappointed it’s a wonderful uplifting book, I adore it !

Anne of Green gables. Lovely classic. Soft and descriptive book.

Beautiful. Enthralling, heartwarming… a truly beautiful story and now one of my firm favourites.

One word.. amazing.

A delight. I'm trying to get back in to reading and this has been a fantastic read dawnadele4

Library girl 24. Wonderful shows a bit of great comedy and is perfect for children coming of age

It’s good. 👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful. Beautiful book ❤️! Really enjoyed it and I would recommend. It made me emotional at times and it also reminded me to be thankful for the things we take for granted! Great read can’t wait to read more.

Anne of Green Gables. I must have read this book more than 50 times over the past 30 years and still laugh and cry at the same parts. This wonderful piece of writing is timeless. Now my 8 years old daughter is starting to discover the delight of the Anne of Green Gable Series.

classical reader. I truly enjoyed this book and felt surprised at the difference there was between the book, series and the movies made from it.

Anne of Green Gables. I'm only 12 but have read this book about 20 times! Best book ever! I still cry and laugh and this book has got me through the hard times!!!! Thank you Anne!!! We love you!

Anne of green gables. I loved it it!

I’m going to go to the. I have a few things to do but

Perfect. I am a 9 year old kid and I love the story......😍😍😍😍🧐😜🤪😎😚😗😖😛〰️🟤〰️🟠🔺➰🔸🔛🟠

Aged well. Read it when I was a teen and liked it. Now forty years later I have my own daughter and the book is even better.

Beautiful. Beautiful & enthralling.

Learn about imagination from Anne of Green Gables. I loved Anne when I first read this as a teenager! Now as a grandmother I have read this to my granddaughter. We now share the love for the characters and the beauty of Avonlea and Green Gables. Sad to reach the end but ready to continue reading the sequels. Thoroughly recommend these books! We can learn many lessons from these characters; especially Anne’s optimism and imagination.

Anne of Green Gables. Lovely story, just as enjoyable this time as the first time I read it in my teens. I intend to introduce my daughter to the exploits of Anne Shirley.

Anne of Green Gables. How to begin? Anne of Green Gables is one of those books that come into your life and become part of your very soul. After the first few chapters, I became an addict, I simply could not get enough. About half way through, I wanted to drag out the ending, hoping I could make it last. Needless to say, I fail miserably. Anne of Green Gables has made me laugh, cry, roll my eyes and shake my head with rage at fictitious characters in the beautiful world of Avonlea. What wouldn't I give to disappear into that world. This novel is spectacular. I cannot recommend it highly enough and it shall always sit in my personal top five favourites. I cannot get enough of the girl with hair like carrots.

Childhood revisited. I read this book approximately 33 years ago and when I found it again I thought I'd revisit it. I love it now as I loved it then. What a lovely, hearty and wholesome story. If i'd have had a girl I'd have gladly shared this book with her. I recommend it to both young and old. Just lovely!

Lovely reading!. It was as enjoyable to read as when I'd read it as a young adult. The iPhone version is an absolute bonus in that I can even read to myself, in darkness, while getting the kids to sleep. I can't wait to read on in the series!

Incredible, brilliant, moving, perfect. What a wonderful book; so exquisitely written and so beautifully thought-out. A true pleasure, and one that I enjoyed all the more as an adult. It truly reminded me of so many important things that I had forgotten in life, and was a joyous journey. There came a point at which I couldn't put it down. Incredible characters, a lovely tale, and so much sweetness and optimism. Simply divine.

Loved. Enchanting, heartfelt and left me nostalgic for childhood adventures in the countryside.

Love AOGG!!!!!!. I am only 12 but I've read all 8 of the Anne books at least 4 times! I LOVE Anne of Green Gables!!!!!

"Splendid". Anne of Green Gables will have you dreaming in prose. The heartfelt adventures in Avonlea are clearly a classic for a reason.

Lovely. Beautiful language, painting pictures in my head. Creates a dream of what the world should or could be like. Wish I hadnt refused to read this wonderful story as a child, it may have given me a different outlook on life :)

This the most inspiring,Extraodinary,Extravagant,Excruciating beautiful. Every thing in it is so exquisite,Lovely,Awesome,Intelligent, smart and it helps you a great deal through through times we all go through and we just need that inspirationally,Fantastic

Anne. I love this! Grew up with her and this book brings happiness to the soul... Gimme more please...

Beautiful!. An innocent beautiful story that every girl who holds sweetness and daydreams in her heart should read.

A classic worth rereading. In a world gone mad how joyful it was to revisit Anne of Green Gables. Funny, sad and full of all the beauty in the world. I loved it as much today at 55 years as I did when I read my mother’s copy when I was 12.

Anne of Green Gables. I absolutely love this book. It is one of my ultimate favourite books of all time. I recommend for every teenage girl to read this book as it will change their life forever....

Anna. Best book I ever 🐬🐟🐳🐳🐬🐳🐳🐟🐳🐟🐟🐟💐🌸🌷🐙🐘🐑⚡🌺🌻🌹🍀🌴🌵🌾🐚🍁🍃🍃🍂

Heart-felt moving story. I read this novel a couple of years ago and I picked it up again. I could read it with different perspectives. It made me cry and laugh again. I love this book!

Great book love it. The book is lovely but over 1000 a little to long but other wise great book

Anne of Green Gables. Truly great read. I have watched the series and can honestly say that I loved the nook much mite. Thanks

Review of Ann of Green Gables. Until recently, I never read this book. I've seen all the movies and now I realize that the movies were great because they stayed true to the book. This book is a great read. The author writes so descriptively that you can paint a picture of the scenes in your mind. The characters are well developed and multi-dimensional. Best of all, it is a wonderful testament to a girl's childhood. An experience every girl can relate to. It surpasses boundaries of culture, nation, and family. A must read for all!

This great book. I thought it was an amazing book definitely 5 star out of 5. I loved this book! If you haven't read it you should definitely read it.

Anne of Green Gables. Blissful classic!

Great story. Funny...I grew up on pei and sat through the play every year...we still haven't read the book the island is famous for in school, and I'm in high school.....I guess it's easier just to see the play

A good happy read.. Not too many books can make me laugh out loud while reading, but this book had many many laughs. Smiles too. Just a good, happy read. Perfect with a vacation beach or a fireplace with cocoa! Excellent book.

Love this book. I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book. Such descriptions. I could picture everything in my mind. I read it in 4 days. Just couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it!!

Anne of Green Gables. What a dreamy read. Love.

Anne of Green Gables. One of my favourite books of all time. I’ve read this like 30 times and it never gets old. Truly a wonderful book.

Anne o Green Gables. I have seen the musical of “Anne of Green Gables”, but not the book page by page. Twice I almost had tears in my eyes, when I read towards the end of the story. It’s a famous book, and it’s very enjoyable for me. It’s the best iBook I have read so far.

Anne of Green Gables. An absolute classic! A must read for all ages!

Amazing!. I loved reading this and will continue reading the series!
