"Anne of Green Gables" is a novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery and published in 1908. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the adventures of an 11-year-old orphan girl named Anne Shirley. She is mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had intended to adopt a boy. Despite the initial mix-up, Anne's lively and imaginative personality wins over the siblings, and she settles into life at Green Gables in the fictional town of Avonlea. The book explores Anne's experiences at school, her friendships, and her rivalry with Gilbert Blythe. Tragedy strikes when Matthew dies, but Anne finds solace in her friendship with Gilbert. The novel has inspired numerous sequels, adaptations, and even a prequel. It has gained popularity worldwide, particularly in Japan, where it is known as "Red-haired Anne." The story has been adapted into films, television series, and musicals, and has left a lasting impact on Canadian literature.
