Anne of Green Gables is a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, first published in 1908.

Set in late-19th-century Prince Edward Island, it blends coming-of-age warmth with sharp, homespun humor, inviting readers of all ages into a small community where everyday moments feel luminous.

The story begins with a mix-up: a quiet farming household expects a boy to help with chores and instead welcomes an eleven-year-old orphan whose quick tongue and boundless imagination remake the rhythms of home. What follows is a string of mishaps and triumphs that turn an accidental arrival into a hard-won sense of belonging.

Schoolroom rivalries, kindred friendships, and literary ambitions unfold against fields, shorelines, and seasons, revealing the transforming power of affection, discipline, and second chances. The novel lingers on the wonder tucked inside ordinary life and shows how creativity can turn embarrassment into story and setback into growth.

With its lively narration and affectionate portrait of rural life, Anne of Green Gables endures as a celebration of found family, resilient hope, and the imagination that makes a place feel like home.
