This is a lovely edition in hardback , published in 2010 by Puffin and with an introduction by author LAUREN CHILD .

Many adults describe this book as being important to them when growing up. The character of ANNE is both vulnerable and plucky , imaginative & optimistic , and she fairly leaps off the pages because she is so brilliantly described by Lucy Maud Montgomery .

This is a wonderful book that leaves a lasting impression on every young reader , & I can even remember how wonderful a story it was when I read it so many many moons ago .

" Well" said Marilla , unable to find any excuse for deferring her explanation longer , " I suppose I might as well tell you . Matthew and I have decided to keep you - that is , if you will try to be a good little girl & show yourself grateful . Why , child , whatever is the matter ? " I'm crying " said Anne , in a tone of bewilderment . " I can' t think why . I'm as glad as glad can be "

A lovely copy with a pretty pink cover and being hardback will last longer . In very good condition From a smoke free home
