A red-haired An auburn-haired orphan, she arrived at Green Gables as a mistake. The Cuthberts -- Marilla and her brother Matthew -- were looking for a boy as a hired hand to help out at the farm, but received Anne instead. From that day forward, she has charmed her way into the lives of the people around her, such as her bosom friend, Diana Barry, and her "enemy" Gilbert Blythe.
Passionate, imaginative, and remarkably human sets Anne apart from many heroines of the book and screen and has endeared her to millions of readers all over the world.
The Anne novels are a series of eight books written by Lucy Maud Montgomery that revolved mostly around the title character, the beloved Anne Shirley, and her life. The later books moved from her to the life she lived with her family and specifically her children, ending with her youngest daughter's story.
