　　When red-headed orphan Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables, she feels sure she's found the home she has always longed for. Her new adoptive parents, the Cuthberts, are less certain - they had asked the orphanage for a boy. But before long, Anne's irrepressible optimism and loving nature charms them. While her temper is unpredictable and her extravagant imagination makes her dreamily whimsical and prone to comic mishap, they come to love Anne as if she were their own child.

　　A celebration of the transformative power of love, Lucy Maud Montgomery's beloved children's classic is a brilliantly warm and funny portrait of a girl who has a second chance at childhood.

露西‧蒙哥瑪麗 Lucy Maud Montgomery（L. M. Montgomery），1874-1942

　 　出生於加拿大愛德華王子島的克里夫登，從小就十分擅長編說故事。十五歲那年，她的詩作成功在報上刊登發表，成年後展開教書生涯。1904年春天，一時突 來的靈感激發，促使蒙哥瑪麗花費兩年時間創作出小說《綠色屋頂之家的安》（Anne of Green Gables）；在不斷辛苦奔走的堅持下，1917年終獲出版社點頭出版「清秀佳人」系列書籍，漸受世人矚目，加拿大政府更將書中景點指定為國家公園。 1940年蒙哥瑪麗健康狀況惡化，兩年後病逝葬於愛德華王子島上。

　　Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1874 and raised by her maternal grandparents following her mother's death. Biographical accounts of her upbringing suggest a strict and rather lonely childhood. She later spent a number of years working as a teacher before turning to journalism and then, ultimately, to writing fiction. Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908, was her first novel and has remained in print the world over ever since. Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942.
