Anne Shirley, the orphan child who brings happiness and love into the lives of her foster family, is one of the most beloved heroines in all of literature. This wildly imaginative, red-headed chatterbox tries to fit into the narrow confines of Victorian expectations, but her exuberant spirit keeps leaping delightfully beyond the bounds.
When Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew find that they are getting too old to work the farm by themselves, they decide to adopt an orphan boy to help out. To their dismay, they are sent a girl by mistake—an impetuous girl with a hopeless lack of manners. Pragmatic Marilla is determined to return her, but warm-hearted Matthew urges that she be given a chance to prove herself. The challenge laid down for this eleven-year-old girl—and the mishaps that befall her before she wins the heart of her foster mother—make for a delightfully charming story.

Originally appearing as a series of short stories in a children’s magazine, The Peterkin Papers is a collection of tales featuring the hysterically inept Peterkin family. The Peterkins’ unfortunate lack of common sense causes hilarious unintended consequences nearly every time they have an idea. They muddle through life’s challenges with love and cooperation, but when they come to their wits’ end, they know they need help. The Peterkins decide to consult the wise, sensible “Lady from Philadelphia,” who manages to extricate them from their troubles with sensible commonplace solutions.
