The tale of the lively and imaginative Anne has captivated generations of readers, transporting them to the quaint setting of Green Gables, an old-fashioned farmstead outside Avonlea in Canada. Now 16 years old, Anne is ready to take her place as a full member of Avonlea society. She continues her own studies at home, assisted by Gilbert, while she takes on the job as teacher at Avonlea school. Although a little wiser than before, she soon finds herself in the sort of scrapes anyone who knows Anne is familiar with. Anne of Avonlea is the second book in the series about Anne of Green Gables. L. M. MONTGOMERY [1874-1942] was a Canadian author. She grew up with her grandparents in Cavendish and began writing at an early age. In 1908, her debut novel, Anne of Green Gables, was published, marking the first installment in what would become one of the most beloved children's and young adult book series ever. The book has been translated into around 36 languages and sold over 50 million copies.
