ANNE OF
GREEN GABLES - FULL AudioBook | by
Lucy Maud Montgomery | GreatestAudioBooks.com -
Anne of Green Gables (
1908) is a bestselling novel by
Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Written as fiction for readers of all ages, since the mid-twentieth century, the literary classic has been considered a children's novel. It recounts the adventures of
Anne Shirley, a young orphan girl sent to a middle-aged brother and sister who have a farm on
Prince Edward Island, and who had intended to adopt a boy to help them. The novel recounts how
Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school and the town.
Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies, and has been translated into 20 languages. Numerous sequels were written by
Montgomery, and since her death, another sequel has been published, as well as an authorized prequel. The original book is taught to students around the world.
It has been adapted as films, made for television movies, and animated and live-action television series.
Plays and musicals have also been created, with productions annually in
Canada since 1964 of the first musical production, which has toured in Canada, the
United States,
Europe and
Japan.
Others have been produced in
Canada and the United States.
In writing the novel, Montgomery was inspired by notes she had made as a young girl, about a couple who were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of the boy they had requested, yet decided to keep her. She drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of
Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from
New York's Metropolitan Magazine and put on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character.
Montgomery also was inspired by the "formula Ann" orphan stories which were popular at the time and distinguished her character by her insistence on spelling her name as "Anne". She based other characters such as
Gilbert Blythe, in part on people she knew. She said she wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, while sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. (Summary from
