Book Reviews of Anne of Green Gables
Book Review: Girl classic
Summary: 5 Stars
What girlhood is complete without the charming adventures of one of literature's most spritely heroines, Anne [with an e] Shirley? I've read this book time and time again since I was a child, and I still cannot get over just how much character and heart can be splashed into a single novel.
In the lovely world of a Victorian Canada the Cuthberts, an elderly brother and sister, decided to adopt a boy to help with farm work. However, there is a mistake and instead the awkward, idealistic Anne winds up in their home. She's an orphan who lives romantic dreams and is not afraid to speak her mind. She sounds irritating, but she is a fantastic, well-rounded character, as is everyone else. Anne quickly makes a name and a place for herself in her new home as she grows up through all the usual horrors of adolescence.
Summary of Anne of Green Gables
LRS Large Print Edition of this literary favorite.Anne of Green Gables is the delightful story of orphan Anne and her adventures in her new home. Anne's adoptive family were looking for a boy to help with chores and are taken aback by the arrival of a skinny girl, especially one who is outspoken and able to get into trouble so easily. Anne quickly endears herself to almost everyone she meets and goes on to have many adventures in this wonderful story, which also captures life in the picturesque area of Prince Edward Island early in the 20th Century.
This book is beloved by children and adults the world over and is perfect to read out loud to a child, or have them read to you. LRS books have Readability Plus(tm), a careful selection of type size, font, spacing, page size and binding to provide the ideal book for the reader who prefers large print.
When Marilla Cuthbert's brother, Matthew, returns home to Green Gables with a chatty redheaded orphan girl, Marilla exclaims, "But we asked for a boy. We have no use for a girl." It's not long, though, before the Cuthberts can't imagine how they could ever do without young Anne of Green Gables--but not for the original reasons they sought an orphan. Somewhere between the time Anne "confesses" to losing Marilla's amethyst pin (which she never took) in hopes of being allowed to go to a picnic, and when Anne accidentally dyes her hated carrot-red hair green, Marilla says to Matthew, "One thing's for certain, no house that Anne's in will ever be dull." And no book that she's in will be, either. This adapted version of the classic, Anne of Green Gables, introduces younger readers to the irrepressible heroine of L.M. Montgomery's many stories. Adapter M.C. Helldorfer includes only a few of Anne's mirthful and poignant adventures, yet manages to capture the freshness of one of children's literature's spunkiest, most beloved characters. There's just enough to make beginning readers want more--luckily, there's a lot more in the originals! Illustrator Ellen Beier creates vibrant pictures to portray the beauty of the land around Green Gables and the spirited nature of Anne herself. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
