When Marilla Cuthbert's Brother, Matthew, Returns Home To Green Gables With A Chatty Redheaded Orphan Girl, Marilla Exclaims, "But We Asked For A Boy. We Have No Use For A Girl." It's Not Long, Though, Before The Cuthberts Can't Imagine How They Could Ever Do Without Young Anne Of Green Gables--But Not For The Original Reasons They Sought An Orphan. Somewhere Between The Time Anne "Confesses" To Losing Marilla's Amethyst Pin (Which She Never Took) In Hopes Of Being Allowed To Go To A Picnic, And When Anne Accidentally Dyes Her Hated Carrot-Red Hair Green, Marilla Says To Matthew, "One Thing's For Certain, No House That Anne's In Will Ever Be Dull." And No Book That She's In Will Be, Either. This Adapted Version Of The Classic, Anne Of Green Gables, Introduces Younger Readers To The Irrepressible Heroine Of L.M. Montgomery's Many Stories. Adapter M.C. Helldorfer Includes Only A Few Of Anne's Mirthful And Poignant Adventures, Yet Manages To Capture The Freshness Of One Of Children's Literature's Spunkiest, Most Beloved Characters. There's Just Enough To Make Beginning Readers Want More--Luckily, There's A Lot More In The Originals! Illustrator Ellen Beier Creates Vibrant Pictures To Portray The Beauty Of The Land Around Green Gables And The Spirited Nature Of Anne Herself. (Ages 5 To 8) --Emilie Coulter
