ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is captured beautifully in this new edition from Nosy Crow. The story is fully captured alongside stunning full-color illustrations, telling the story of how Anne came to Avonlea and stayed at Green Gables, where she found her life full of hope, charm, and a bit of trouble.

It is truly stunning with full-color illustrations on every page, a lovely cover, and a ribbon bookmark. The font is nice and large, making it easy to read throughout, and bringing the story to a new generation. The book also includes a QR code for an audiobook version of the story, which is helpful for readers who prefer to listen to their books.

I adore the illustrations which capture the characters and story so well. Scenes readers may remember most are included, such as the raspberry cordial mishap with Diana and the slate breaking over Gilbert's head when he teases Anne, and even the green hair episode. Key phrases that have kept readers hooked over the years are also included in the story. This is a lovely edition that readers who adored Anne-with-an-E in their youth will delight in sharing with the next generation.
