When Matthew Cuthbert reaches the Bright River station expecting to receive a boy, he is informed, much to his surprise, that a little girl has been dropped off for him.
“I suppose you are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?”
she said in a peculiarly clear, sweet voice. “I’m very glad
to see you. . . . Oh, it seems so wonderful that I’m
going to live with you and belong to you.
I’ve never belonged to anybody—not really.”
As Matthew takes her home to his sister Marilla, she is shocked for they had adopted a boy.
What happens as they decide to send her back?
Will the fiery, imaginative, and talkative Anne Shirley
win the hearts of her guardians?
