When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, send for a boy orphan to help them out at the farm, they are in no way prepared for the error that will change their lives. The mistake takes the shape of Anne Shirley, a redheaded 11-year-old girl who can talk anyone under the table. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination quickly win over her reluctant foster parents. Anne's feisty spirit soon draws many friends--and much trouble--her way. Not a day goes by without some melodramatic new episode in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on, Anne declares her eternal antipathy for Gilbert Blythe, a classmate who commits the ultimate sin of mocking her hair color. Later, she accidentally dyes that same cursed hair green. Another time, in her haste to impress a new neighbor, she bakes a cake with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery's series of books about Anne have remained classics since the early 20th century. Her portrayal of this feminine yet independent spirit has given generations of girls a strong female role model, while offering a taste of another, milder time in history. This lovely boxed gift collection comprises Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, and Rilla of Ingleside. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set.......2007-09-02
I was very pleased my books came very quickly. They were new so they were in perfect condition. The whole set of books were very reasonably priced, and I'm enjoying reading them.
Just love Anne Shirley!!.......2007-07-17
This series is the most wonderful and entertaining of books!
I got the first book from the library and fell in love with it, and so bought the series from Amazon. These are my favorite books, and I am on my second time through them.
The series starts off about Anne, an orphan girl, who gets sent from the Asylum and goes to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert of Green Gables.
Her life is filled with hilarious predicaments! Dyeing her hair, falling off the Barry roof, daydreaming and imagining to much, and plus, her rivaly with handsome Gilbert Blythe.
I highly recommend this series! I loved the rest of the books as much as I loved the first! Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote a masterpice! You will definitely fall in love with imaginative Anne Shirley!
Just like I remembered.......2007-07-17
This series is really great. I started from the first book and couldn't put them down. The story is just as intruiging and wonderful as when I read it the first time when I was younger. VERY VERY VERY enjoyable!
Light Reading.......2007-06-08
Read these books when I was younger and I loved them. Bought them for my sister who is 12 and she is really enjoying reading them. Actually don't mind reading them again myself.
Anne with an e.......2007-06-04
When my Grandfather was a boy he speant time on PEI on a farm located very near where Green Gables would have been. He bought this set for me long before i was able to read and they sat on my shelf until my high school years when i finaly picked them up. I had watched the movies with my Grandfather as far back as i could remeber and assumed the books would be worth reading. They quickly surpassed all other books and became my favorite.
Now, having just graduated college and looking for a litte direction and inspiration (like Anne I'm looking for work as a teacher) I picked them back up and have been rereading them. I feel like these books such life lessons that anyone with any beliefs can read them and learn good values.
These books and movies have always been like a comfert food for me these are the books and movies i read and watch when things are going bad.
I highly reccamend these books to people of al ages, they are well worth the time, and are a nice and easy read.

An Extraordinary Beginning, but a Rather Monotonous End.......2006-11-25
The first three installments in the "Anne of Green Gables" series have to some of the most wonderful, enchanting, all-around greatest books I have ever read. L.M Montgomery has done an absolutely splendid job bringing to life the red-headed girl with a fiery temper to match, but the farther I progressed into the series, the more disappointed I became. For me, the series became monotonous and depressing; the war kills Anne's beloved child, and I cannot help but despair in the numerous times Anne is mentioned with streaks of gray hair, and wrinkles in her face. This is not the lively girl of Avonlea I have come to so dearly love. So, my advice to you would be to read the first three books, and the first part of the 5th, for the end of the series should not overshadow its timeless, an
Anne of Green Gables the Ups and Downs.......2006-05-17
Anne of Green Gables was an amazing story. The way Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote makes you really knw the characters,and you feel what the characters are feeling .Along with this we have the great description of the beautiful province of Prince Edward Island. You can almost feel the wind in your hair and smell the ocean. you can almost see the wonderous white Way of Delight that Lucy Maud Montgomery described so clearly.
This book take s you through many exciting adventures with Anne ,the poor orphan girl who absolutely hates her looks but always has a way to imagine them differently. She had traveled from home to home when finally she comes to mathew and Marilla. Anne's wide imagination takes her through many adventures. She causes a lot of mischeif which really shakes the people of Avonlea. Anne goes from strange new girl to the girl who the people of Avonlea admire. This makes the book fun and makes you want to read more. the one thing I don't like about this book is the sad ending. this book touched my heart and I believe it will touch yours too.
A great book!!!!!.......2006-02-08
What do you get when you combine a redheaded girl, a firey temper, and a wonderful imagination? Anne Shirley, from L.M. Montgomery's book, Anne of Green Gables! It's a great book set in the 1880's, in a little Canadian town called Avonlea. Anne gets into many problems, like when a boy teased her, and she in turn took her slate and hit him over the head with it, or the time when she accidentally intoxicated her best friend Diana at a tea party. All in all, it's a great book, because of the lively friendly character, Anne. If you like using your imagination, but it sometimes gets you in trouble, you should read this book!
Anne of Green Gables.......2005-04-26
"I hate you! I hate you - I hate you!"
"How dare you call me skinny and ugly? How dare you say I'm freckled and red-headed? You are a rude, impolite, unfeeling woman!" said Anne Shirley to Mrs. Rachel Lynd, the town's busybody, one day in a village called Avonlea.
Anne is an imaginative, overly dramatic girl of eleven, who has just been adopted by Marilla Cuthbert, an old lonely woman, and her kind brother, Mathew Cuthbert. Anne of Green Gables is set on Prince Edward's Island in Canada.
I enjoyed the book because of the humour tied in with the story, and how well I got to know the characters because of the wonderful character descriptions. Overall, I would highly recommend this book as both a gift idea and for reading yourself!
Read by a Mom :).......2005-01-31
Yes, I'm 37 years old and decided finally it was time for me to read these books! I kept searching for books to read and this set always comes up. I just finished book 1 (Anne of Green Gables)..Now I'm on 2. Ann of Green Gables is about a VERY talkative little girl who is adopted by what seems to be at first a cold, proper, prudish, mother who wanted a boy and also a country husband of few words. Anne is opposite of both these people. Very outgoing, not shy, not afraid to voice her opinion, and is really really into her own imagination. She is very much a red head. She opens the hearts and minds to these prudish parents who become loving and kind to her. They realize that not only did they save Anne's life, but she in fact, saved thiers. It's a sweet story with lots of funny parts. Anne is constantly getting into these situations that are embarresing. Never you mind, she is so strong willed that she manages to get her own self out of it. I love the fact that she doesn't rely on her parents to get her out of her problems.
Even though she wore even me out with all that talking she does (We all have at least 1 child like this) , you can't help but warm up to her. She is also a drama queen. I guess they even existed in early 1900's right? I enjoyed the story very much and am now on the second book which after only 6 chapters has me really excited. So far the second books is very funny.
I would recommend this book to readers typically at least 10 years old and up.

Enjoy the CD book you loved as a child. Audio books are a great way to get your middle school aged child to read. Why not listen to the book together as you ride in the car?
Customer Reviews:
A great story with colorful pictures!.......2004-11-28
The sequel to Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea is just as good as the first. Anne is older now, and she becomes a teacher at the town school, Marilla and Matthew adopt little boys, and Anne's relationship with Gilbert ripens. If you have not read Anne of Green Gables, I recommend reading that first, so you can understand this book better.
This version of the book is hardback and VERY colorful, which I really enjoyed, and it is a book from the Illustrated Junior Library Editions. It comes with a plastic covering to protect the book. This book along with Anne of Green Gables would be a great book for any young girl, and can be passed down to the next generation.
Anne of the Island.......2003-06-02
In Anne of the Islnad, the character that I have grown to love and become familiar with, grows up and moves on to college. With college, comes new friends and new romances too. The only part that continued to annoy me was how Anne was rejecting everybody who asked her to marry. However, Anne learns through her failures and to my contentment, ended up with the one person whose heart truly belongs to her.

A Timeless Classic.......1999-09-23
Maud's "Anne" series has captured my heart since I was a young girl. I can relate to Anne because we share a lot of the same characteristics. We are both hopeless dramatists and romantics. Anne is as hilarious as she is touching. I know I will share this beautiful story with my own daughter some day. A MUST READ!!
It is brilliant.......1999-08-24
Anne of Green Gables is one of the best books I have ever read. It starts off very realistically and I especially like the way the author describes Anne when she is talking to Matthew is the beginning of the book.
THE MAIN OUTLINE
Anne is a poor orphan girl who has been treated badly by all the people who she has stayed with. However, she has an unquenchable imagination, which keeps working wherever she is. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert(brother and sister) adopt Anne and the adventures start from there.............
MY FAVOURITE PARTS
One of my favourite parts in the book is when Anne tentatively shows her hair, which she attempted to dye black but ended up green, to Marilla.
Book Description
At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

Customer Reviews:
A classic - and it's Dover!.......2007-09-26
Although I love _Anne of the Island_ and _Anne of Windy Poplars_ even more, this is a great book. It's not quite as gooey as Green Gables, and the hijinks of Anne and her crowd, almost adults but not yet, are fun and interesting as windows to another age. I do wish, however, I could step in and take Gilbert for myself - like all heroines whose authors wish to write many more books, she takes so young to yield!
The Dover edition is, as always, a great price.
Here's Why.......2007-02-08
I really enjoyed the first Anne book, but the second was a bit dull. It was still nice, but Anne and Gilbert's relationship doesn't go anywhere!!! So if you want to read an Anne book where it does, I strongly recommend Anne of the Island. I just didn't find this novel as capturing as I had hoped. Maybe it was too much description. I always have a problem with too much of that. While reading I had to keep skipping ahead to see when the next time Gilbert would even be mentioned!!! So like I said, it was okay.
Wonderful Book.......2006-12-13
The Book I read was by L.M. Montgomery. It is called Anne of Avonlea. This book is a realistic fiction.
This book is the second in a series of 8. It is about an adopted girl named Anne Shirley. She won a scholarship to Redmond College but when she finds out her adopted mother Marilla may go blind she stays behind. Anne starts teaching at a local school. Marilla's Relative dies and she adopts her two twins.
I loved this book. It was funny and cute. It kept me reading. I read the third one right after I finished it. I think that this book is appropriate for aged 10 and up.
From a queer, young girl to an attractive auburnette schoolteacher..........2006-05-25
Even though L.M. Montgomery did not intend Anne of Green Gables to be a series, she still captivates with her eager readers in Anne of Avonlea.
There are still quite a few differences, Anne has grown from a "queer", fiery, young girl to a wiser, calmer, auburn-headed schoolteacher. Yes, a schoolteacher. Also, as we follow Anne in this Bildungsroman literature, the romance between her and Gilbert Blythe peeks through shyness and past misadventures in this novel.
Some people consider it a book not as interesting as the first, and perhaps this is because Anne is no longer a child and could not grow into a young woman with the same inexperienced attitude.
Altogether, my opinion of the book is that it was a good follow-up and I sympathize that it would be hard to make up such great a book as Anne of Green Gables.
Boring Boring Boring!.......2006-05-03
How could anyone sit and read this boring work of fiction. I am actually listening to the audio version and I am almost falling asleep and cannot remember a word the reader has said.
I am going to stick to the movie versions of Anne of Green Gables instead of reading the rest of the books. At least the movies keep your interest.

Anne Shirley becomes the teacher at Avonlea School.......2004-10-29
After the great success of "Anne of Green Gables," Lucy Maud Montgomery had to quickly write a sequel to continue the misadventures of the mischievous red-headed orphan on Prince Edward Island. Since the original classic was not intended to be the first in a series, Montgomery had to make some changes. The one that will drive you crazy is that Anne is back to being oblivious about Gilbert Blythe being the love of her life and her perfect match. You have the last chapter of the first novel where it seems the Anne and Gilbert have arrived at an understanding and all is right with the world, and now we are back to square one with Anne Shirley the only one in Avonlea who does not know that she and Gilbert are a perfect match.
The other thing that becomes obvious as you read "Anne of Avonlea" is that Montgomery is somewhat uncomfortable with the Anne-Girl growing up, even though she is only "half-past sixteen." This discomfort is evidenced by the infusion of new children into the story as Anne becomes the teacher at Avonlea school, which allows her to stay at Green Gables, and Marilla adopts the irrepressible Keith twins, Davy and Dora. There are some new adults in the mix as well, with the mysterious new neighbor with his parrot and (my favorite part) the eccentric Miss Lavendar who has been waiting a quarter of a century for her beloved Stephen Irving to return to her. The biggest difference between the first book and the second is that Anne is more of a spectator this time around.
Along with "Anne of Windy Poplars," one of the books that Montgomery slipped back into the chronology of the series, "Anne of Avonlea" is a testament to Montgomery's respect for the teaching profession. You will notice that the book is dedicated to her former teacher, Hattie Gordon Smith. While this is not one of my favorite Anne novels, it is still a worthy successor to the classic story. However, be warned: If you watch either of the "Anne of Avonlea" movies you will that virtually nothing from this novel ever made it to film that takes this book for its title.
