Read the timeless classic about the fiery orphan Anne Shirley, now a school principal, behind the hit Netflix series Anne with an E—now celebrating a hundred years of this children’s favorite.

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind and is ready to start a new job and a new chapter of her life, far from Green Gables. But she’s about to face a big challenge: the Pringles. Known as the royal family of Summerside, they quickly make it clear that Anne is not who they wanted as the principal of Summerside High School. But Anne isn’t one to back down from a challenge.

Determined to make Summerside her home, Anne settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars. There, she finds great allies in the widows Aunt Kate, Aunt Chatty, and their lively housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne uncovers Summerside’s strangest secrets, winning over the prickly Pringles becomes just the first of her many triumphs.

This special Collector’s Edition includes the original, unabridged text, a specially commissioned biography of L.M. Montgomery, and a map of Prince Edward Island.
