Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert of Green Gables asked for a boy from the orphanage to help them out around the farm, so they are rather surprised when a talkative, red-headed little girl steps off the train to meet them. Thanks to Anne's imaginative musings, the rustic region's natural wonders blossom into a fairyland of endless romance. Anne's inspired prattle, goodwill, and joie de vivre win her a warm circle of friends and enable her to achieve great success at school. The arrival of Anne brings enchanting vigor and vitality into the originally dull Green Gables, and also brings endless joy to this ancient village.
