A classic tale of an orphaned girl who is adopted by a couple of unmarried siblings. Through a mixup, Matthew and Marilla wind up with Anne, a spunky 11 year old girl, and not the capable farm boy they had requested. But Anne's cheerful attitude and bright imagination wins over not only her new family, but the whole community. It's a charming book, but it is dated in its attitudes and does quite a bit of moralizing. But Anne gets into quite a few scrapes that make her feel more realistic than the average 20th century heroine.
