"IT SEEMS LIKE SUCH A WASTE TO LOOK AT A PERSON AND NOT ASK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THEY'RE THINKING AND FEELING AND WONDERING, DOESN'T IT?"

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Lucy Maud Montgomery's timeless tale of imagination, resilience and the transformative power of love. When freckle-faced orphan Anne Shirley arrives in Avonlea, she has little more than the clothes on her back. Soon her vivid imagination, fiery temper and tenacious spirit win over her adoptive parents and schoolmates, including her arch nemesis, Gilbert. In this playful take on the beloved classic novel, audiences meet Anne illuminated by her signature charm and irrepressible glory—minus the show tunes!
