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

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.
Good for all ages July 29, 2008
It had been many years since I read the first two books. I recently took the books off my shelves and reread them and realized that even as an adult, past the "youg adult" stage of life, these are wonderful stories. I was amazed to see the copyright date and see that it was 100 years since Lucy Maud first wrote them. Anne girl has withstood the test of time. When I realized there were more books in the series, I checked here and found the anniversary package. The price was more then great and I loved these stories also. Anne Shirley will always be a "kindred spirit" to me.
AWESOME! July 9, 2008
I loved the books and the movie as a child and wanted to revisit and read them to my younger siblings. Excellent vendor, recieved the items in 2 days and was in excellent brand new conditions with plastic wrap. Highly recomment to purchase from them.
