Little does Matthew Cuthbert know how life on Prince Edward Island is going to change when he and his sister, Marilla, adopt Anne Shirley off the Canadian orphanage in spite of them needing a boy to help with the chores. Anne’s talkativeness, optimism, and spirit, charm Matthew. Marilla agrees to give Anne a trial and comes to agree to let her stay. Anne though blessed with gift for fantasy really does her best to follow Marilla’s rules but finds herself embroiled in many escapades that rival Lucille Ball antics. She serves her best friend, Diana Barry red currant wine instead of the nonalcoholic raspberry cordial which sends an intoxicated Diana home to a mother who forbids any more contact with Anne. School brings a rivalry between Anne and Gilbert Blythe and continues through most of the book. Anne’s story is continued by Anne of Avonlea.
