BY A REMARKABLE CANADIAN WRITER. NOW A NETFLIX SERIES.
‘Anne Shirley is, for me, one of the great characters of literature’ LAUREN CHILD
‘The grandmother of the YA/adult crossover novel’ JEAN HANNAH EDELSTEIN, GUARDIAN
‘The dearest, most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice’ MARK TWAIN
The fifth book in the Anne Shirley series.
‘They belonged to each other; and, no matter what life might hold for them, it could never alter that. Their happiness was in each other’s keeping and both were unafraid.‘
There has never been a wedding at Green Gables – that is, until now. In the old orchard, on a perfect sunny day, surrounded by their dearest friends, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe are married at last.
The couple begin their new life together far from Avonlea, at Four Winds Harbour, where Gilbert has found the perfect home – a little white house on the shore, overlooking the sea. Before long, they have made new friends: Captain Jim, the lighthouse keeper; indomitable Miss Cornelia Bryant, who always speaks her mind; the writer Owen Ford; and beautiful Leslie Moore, whose sad life has led her to bitterness. When Anne and Gilbert face their own tragedy, they will need all their courage, and the support of their friends to help them through.
This collection of the best books in children’s literature, curated by Virago, will be coveted by children and adults alike. These are timeless tales with beautiful covers that will be treasured and shared across the generations. Some titles you will already know; some will be new to you, but there are stories for everyone to love, whatever your age.

Nesbit (The Psammead Trilogy, The Bastable Trilogy, The Railway Children), Frances Hodgson Burnett (The Little Princess, The Secret Garden) and Susan Coolidge (The What Katy Did Trilogy).
