One of my favourite novels from childhood is Ann of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's a heart-warming book which tells the story of an eleven-year old girl orphan. Despite the fact that this book was written at the beginning of the las century, the book is still a bestseller.
The story is set in a small town Avonlea. One day Matthew and Marrila, a brother and a sister who lives together, decide to adopt a boy orphan to help them on the farm. When Matthew arrives at the station, he sees a red-haired girl instead of a boy. After some time Matthew and Marrila decides to keep her. Ann is a girl who gets into trouble very easy, so it's not easy to raise her, but soon matthew and Marrila become attached to Ann and are overjoyed to have kept her.
Ann of Green Gables is a facinating book. It's a beautifully told story. I think that it's a timeless book and I can highly recommend this novel to anyone who likes uplifting stories.
