Review: Another classic book about coming of age and learning to cope in an adult world. Anne is a feisty and creative young girl who is sent to live with her distant Aunts. On arrival things look very grim for poor Anne as the Aunts had expected a boy to help around the house. But over time Anne is able to win them over with a combination of charm, enthusiasm and an undaunted will.

This book hasn't lost any of it's original charm. A fine read for any young budding reader. My own Daughter had read it more than seven times. Which may be an endorsement in itself. Worth making a stocking stuffer or birthday present.
