| Summary |
"Anne of Green Gables" by L. M. Montgomery is a classic novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around an imaginative and spirited young girl named Anne Shirley, who is mistakenly sent to live with two elderly siblings, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, at their farm, Green Gables, in Prince Edward Island. At the start of the narrative, we meet Mrs. Rachel Lynde, a keen observer of the town and its residents, who becomes intrigued by Matthew Cuthbert's unexpected departure. This sets off a chain of curiosity that introduces us to the quiet Cuthbert siblings and their surprising decision to adopt a child from an orphan asylum. The opening chapters detail Anne's arrival at Green Gables, her vivid imagination, and her longing for belonging, all while highlighting her distinct personality traits and quirks. The stage is set for her relationship with Marilla and Matthew to unfold, as well as the challenges and adventures that await Anne in her new home. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
