Amazon.com Review
When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, send for a boy orphan to help them out at the farm, they are in no way prepared for the error that will change their lives. The mistake takes the shape of Anne Shirley, a redheaded 11-year-old girl who can talk anyone under the table. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination quickly win over her reluctant foster parents. Anne's feisty spirit soon draws many friends--and much trouble--her way. Not a day goes by without some melodramatic new episode in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on, Anne declares her eternal antipathy for Gilbert Blythe, a classmate who commits the ultimate sin of mocking her hair color. Later, she accidentally dyes that same cursed hair green. Another time, in her haste to impress a new neighbor, she bakes a cake with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery's series of books about Anne have remained classics since the early 20th century. Her portrayal of this feminine yet independent spirit has given generations of girls a strong female role model, while offering a taste of another, milder time in history. This lovely boxed gift collection comprises Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, and Rilla of Ingleside. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

 type is tiny!!! October 10, 2008
This a great price for a great series of books but it has a major problem. The type is so tiny, it's hard to read. I bought these books for my 8 year old and it's really a strain on her eyes to read them for long periods of time.
 4.5 stars for a positive, uplifting and feel-good story for readers of all ages. October 7, 2008
This review is for "Anne of Green Gables" which is the first of eight books in the series. It is a wonderful story, with uplifting and positive views toward life and what's important in life - relationships and caring for others. This story feels like life in a Norman Rockwell painting. Although it is classified as young adult (primarily girls ages 9 and older), as an adult I found it worthwhile and uplifting.
Story brief:
Anne Shirley is an imaginative and optimistic orphan with a keen sense of beauty and justice. At age 11, she is adopted by an elderly couple who live on a farm in Prince Edward Island, off the eastern coast of Canada. The story covers her life from ages 11 to 16 . In this book Anne attends the local school and then a boarding school where she earns a teaching certificate. The story is about herself, her experiences and interactions with various other children and adults in the community.
Of the eight books, I have only read the first two. The second book "Anne of Avonlea" was nice, but not as wonderful as the first book. I think the entire series might be best appreciated by younger readers. But the first book is a definite yes for all ages.
Story length: 308 pages. Sexual language and content: none. Setting: around 1900 Prince Edward Island off the coast of Canada. Copyright: 1908. Genre: young adult, human relationships fiction.
Anne of Green Gables October 1, 2008
Excellent service by Amazaon. My daughter is engrossed in the novels. Books arrived in a matter of a couple of weeks, way ahead of schedule. Will certainly use Amazon again.
A heartwarming story for girls of all ages, at all times. September 24, 2008
"Anne of Green Gables" is a classic every girl should read, no matter how old she is. The reader travels with Anne and delights in the poetry of everyday life seen by the eyes of a little orphan girl who doesn't cease to appreciate nature and whose wonderful imagination can turn a dull day into an adventure. This beautiful boxed set makes the perfect gift for either those who enjoyed the first book and would like to know what happened to Anne, or those who are reading the story for the first time.
Lovely August 28, 2008
I am reading this set myself because I bought it for my 8 year old daughter & thought it might be a wee bit early to start it. So being a girl at heart I have got into the series and have just fallen in love with Anne Shirley and her adventeres! It is funny, sad, inspiring & lovely.
