For over 100 years, Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery has been beloved by children and adults of all ages. Anne Shirley, with her spunk, whimsy, and imagination, has inspired generations. The beautiful setting of Prince Edward Island, Canada, has been lovingly portrayed, almost as a character itself. Many who have loved the books can picture the house, the farm, the school, and the surrounding towns and villages as well as they can recall the characters.
