Fall in love with the girl who changed Avonlea forever in this beautifully curated new edition of Anne of Green Gables.

This book is an Early Reader version of Anne of Green Gables, adapted directly from the original edition for 7 to 12-year-olds, with 12-point type, 1.15-inch line spacing, and a font chosen for enhanced readability (283 pages). Also available from Thrive! Books is the original for adults and children 12+.

After a recent visit to Cavendish on Prince Edward Island, the real-life inspiration for the fictional Avonlea created by Lucy Maud Montgomery, it's impossible not to be moved by the beauty of the countryside and imagine yourself in the settings described in her book. My wife pointed out that the original Anne of Green Gables is almost like a 'sacred text.' As I read it for the first time, I was struck again by how much language has evolved over the past century, making it more challenging for young readers today to fully grasp. I hope my adaptation stays true to the essence of the original, that none of the original magic of Green Gables is lost and that Matthew Cuthbert would approve.

Example:

Original: Marilla came briskly forward as Matthew opened the door. But when her eyes fell on the odd little figure in the stiff, ugly dress, with the long braids of red hair and the eager, luminous eyes, she stopped short in amazement.
