This story is cute, touching, heart-warming, tear-jerking. In other words, a classic!
The target audience is definitely not me. I would say it would be perfect for a teenage girl living in Canada in the early 1900s. That makes sense, because that is exactly what Anne is! However, the point of this obvious detail is that sometimes it is fun to read a classic and try to put your mind in the mindset of who it was written for at the time.

How could I have missed this as a girl?!
Anne is a marvel of a human being, orphaned young in life, sent to work as a caretaker of children when she herself was a child, and yet filled with a zest for life and a joy of small delights. Anne rejoices when she is taken in by an old man and his sister and is allowed to attend school, where she flourishes, and as she is befriended by a girl her age there.

Second read completed. The characters are just as charming and fresh as I remember them. The book was a huge hit with my real life book club. One member said this might be the best book he has ever read.
Dramatisation of the LM Montgomery novel about an impetuous red-headed girl. with Barbara Barnes.
1/5. A couple expect to adopt an orphan boy - not an impetuous red-headed girl.
2/5. The Cuthberts send the feisty girl off to school, but trouble lies ahead.
3/5. Anne meets a kindred spirit, gets cooking - and nearly kills herself.
4/5. Anne has a very bad hair day - and resolves never to be romantic again.
5/5. Anne goes away to college - but her heart is still in Avonlea.

What fun—wish I had read it sooner. Glad I had a challenge to nudge me to read a childhood classic. I have seen the movie but this was SO much more enjoyable!
