About the book:
The beloved coming-of-age tale of a spunky heroine named Anne "with an E," now for the first time in Penguin Classics and packaged in a Deluxe edition.
L. M. Montgomery's novel Anne of Green Gables recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan mistakenly sent to a pair of siblings who intended to adopt a boy to help work on their farm in Prince Edward Island. Yet Anne's quirky personality and good-natured spirit causes the siblings to grow to love her anyway, and soon the entire town falls for the precocious little girl with bright red hair.
Cherished by both children and adults, Anne of Green Gables is a celebration of fierce individualism, and the families we create, rather than the ones we are born into. This Deluxe edition is enhanced with a foreword by bestselling author J. Courtney Sullivan, and an introduction and suggestions for further reading by Benjamin Lefebvre, as well as reviews and a selection of early writing by L. M. Montgomery about the process of writing Anne.

This is one classic I really need to get around to reading!
Anne of Green Gables is my favorite classic. When I was very young I read the entire series in hardcover from my public library and was enthralled. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway.
I have actually never read Anne. Ack. Or watched any movies about these books. I blame me living in Norway, haha :D But the books do sound interesting. And this version looks adorable :D Thank you for sharing. <3
I've never read this but I know it's much beloved by many. Looks like a nice edition!
"What is your favorite classic?" I love "Brave New World"!
Jane Eyre for sure! :)
