A young orphan girl is adopted into a home on Prince Edward Island, a stunning place that fuels her strong imagination, sense of beauty, and love of adventure. Anne is independent, creative, intelligent, and heroic. She sees the world through a thick imaginative lens. But her absentmindedness and pride often get her into trouble.

Anne’s imagination, love of life, and virtue, coupled with the delightful story world and the moving and thrilling scenes, have made the story an all-time favorite. According to Wikipedia, more than 50 million copies have been sold. There are eight books in the Anne series; the first two are the most well-known. The movies are fantastic. I recommend the first two after you’ve read the books.
