Anne of Green Gables
By L. M. Montgomery
An enduring story of imagination, belonging, and the extraordinary power of being loved.
Some stories stay with us. We return to them at different stages of our lives, finding familiar comforts and discovering new truths.
For us, Anne of Green Gables is one of those stories.
As children, we delight in Anne Shirley's boundless imagination, fierce optimism, and talent for finding beauty in ordinary things. As adults, we recognize something deeper: the story of a little girl who has spent her life being unwanted and neglected, finally finding a place to belong.
And in welcoming Anne into their lives, Matthew, Marilla, and the community of Avonlea discover that they, too, have something wonderful to gain.
Anne of Green Gables is an engaging, warm coming-of-age story about a fiery, loving little redhead. But it is also a story about the extraordinary good we can do for one another, and the joy that grows when we make room for someone new.
That enduring message of kindness, belonging, and hope, combined with the story's appeal across generations, is why we chose Anne of Green Gables as the inaugural publication of The Books Will Save Us.
