"Anne of Green Gables" is the classic childhood tale of Anne, the orphan girl who is mistakenly brought to Marilla and Matthew, two siblings who live on a farm together.

Good but kind of sappy. How many times did people need their ears surgically reattached because Anne talked them off?
I loved these books as a girl. Found a copy at a yard sale for 25 cents last summer, and thought it might be time to revisit!
7-4-08 Such a cute book. Written in 1908, it has held up to the times. A cute tale of a red-headed orphan girl mistakenly sent to an older brother and sister's farm. They really wanted a boy, but go so much more. She lives in her imagination, talks too much, and is always getting into a scrape. A sweet quote that I found towards the end:
