Anne of Green Gables

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert mistakenly receive spirited 11-year-old Anne Shirley instead of the boy orphan they intended to adopt, her vibrant imagination and sunny disposition quickly endear her to her reluctant foster parents and the surrounding community. Anne's life is filled with relatable misadventures, from accidentally dyeing her hair green to baking an unforgettable cake with liniment. Through her individualism and resourcefulness, Anne embodies the spirit of the emerging 20th-century woman, making her a timeless role model for girls and women.
