Anne of Green Gables

Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery, this piece of fiction is for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book in a newspaper article describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. One thing that I was not aware of about this book is that it was actually one of many in a series about the main character Anne.
