Neither Matthew nor Marilla could live with themselves if they sent her back, and so they keep her. She has thick red braids and a face full of freckles, an unbeatable optimism, and an unstoppable tongue.
Matthew sets out from their house (which they call “Green Gables”) to pick up the boy, only to find that instead, they have been given an eleven-year-old girl. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, an older brother and sister, arrange to adopt a young orphan boy so they can get some help on their farm in Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. Anne of Green Gables is one of these wonderful books, or at least I think it is since I was busy sobbing through the last 40 pages or so, I couldn’t see the text too clearly. I never read much as a younger person and missed out on so many great books.
