This new hardback edition of the much-loved story of orphan Anne Shirley has been created in
partnership with the world-famous V&A Museum and has an exquisite cover design from their
original William Morris collection. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are in for a big surprise.
They are waiting for an orphan boy to help with the work at Green Gables - but a skinny
red-haired girl turns up instead. Feisty and full of spirit Anne Shirley charms her way into
the Cuthberts' affection with her vivid imagination and constant chatter. It's not long before
Anne finds herself in trouble but soon it becomes impossible for the Cuthberts to imagine life
without 'their' Anne - and for the people of Avonlea to recall what it was like before this
wildly creative little girl whirled into town.
