Description

"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 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 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 even be dull.' And no book that she's in will be, either. Adapter MC 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."
