| Publisher Description: The first novel in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne series, Anne of Green Gables has been popular ever since it was first published in 1908. A deceptively simple tale, that at first glance seems to be little more than a child's book, Anne of Green Gables holds up to closer scrutiny. Behind the series of pratfalls and misadventures that children have enjoyed in one form or another since the book was published is a tale of love and loss. Throwing a book's heroine into barely plausible scrapes was not a novelty when this book was published, and to the extent that many of Anne's little disasters require some familiarity with 19th Century farm life, they may be appreciated in only a vague manner by today's young readers. That the Anne series has remained popular while other books from the era have disappeared owes much to the deeply human portrait that Lucy Maud Montgomery paints not only of Anne but of Matthew and Marilla. Times and fashions change, but people do not. If Montgomery had not created characters so vivid, so readily identifiable outside of time and place, this book would not be in your hands now. |
