Anne of Green Gables recounts Anne's adventures in making
a home: the country school where she quickly excels in her
studies; her friendship with Diana Barry (her best or bosom
friend as Anne fondly calls her); her budding literary
ambitions; and her rivalry with classmate Gilbert Blythe, who
teases her about her red hair. For that he earns her instant
hatred, although he apologizes many times. As time passes, Anne
realizes she no longer hates Gilbert but cannot bring herself to
admit it. However, by the end of the book they become friends.
The book also follows Anne's adventures in quiet, old-fashioned
Avonlea. Episodes include her play time with friends (Diana,
Jane Andrews and Ruby Gillis), her run-ins with the unpleasant
Pye sisters (Gertie and Josie), and domestic mishaps such as
dyeing her hair green (while intending to dye it black) or
accidentally getting Diana drunk (by giving her what she thinks
is raspberry cordial but is currant wine).
Characters: 105. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
