ANNE OF GREEN GABLES – FIVE BOOK COLLECTION

L. M. Montgomery (1987) $32

Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery (published as L.M. Montgomery).

Written for all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl, who is mistakenly sent to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.

Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has been translated into at least 36 languages and has sold more than 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling worldwide. The first in an anthology series, Montgomery wrote numerous sequels, 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.

The book has been adapted as films, made-for-television movies, and animated and live-action television series. Musicals and plays have also been created, with productions annually in Europe and Japan.

AUTHOR: LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY OBE (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.

The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site – namely Green Gables Farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.

Montgomery's work, diaries and letters have been read and studied by scholars and readers worldwide.

AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMERS
Please choose your postage carefully. Standard delivery by Australia post has been drastically cut to 2-3 deliveries a week. This is essentially a budget option now and means delivery will be noticeably slow. We don't recommend this option as it does not come with tracking and will understandably take longer than the time frame eBay estimate (as their system has not updated to calculate the longer time it will take during the restricted delivery times in place at present).

However we remain happy to offer this service should the pricing appeal and the extended wait time is not an issue for you. If you wish to have the ability to track your item, please choose the Parcel Post option. This service continues to operate daily and is the advised option at present. If you are happy to go against our advised option and opt for standard non-tracked delivery this is your informed choice, and you agree to not hold us liable for the well-documented and publicised delays occurring with local mail delivery at present.

 

INTERNATIONAL MAIL IS VERY SLOW AT PRESENT
We cannot emphasise this enough. If you are buying from outside of Australia, you order will take at least two months to arrive. eBay estimates are not in any way an accurate reflection of delivery speed or delivery times at present. DO NOT pay any attention to the eBay estimate as it does not take into consideration the delays with existing restrictions in place and it is misleading. Tracking will update very slowly, sometimes taking many weeks to update. Please do not place an order with us if you are not prepared to wait at least two months for delivery. By continuing with your purchase you agree not to hold us liable for these delays and will not open any item not received disputes until at least two months have passed. Your order will continue to make its way to you as circumstances allow. Please be mindful of this and do not proceed with your ordering if you are not prepared to wait.
