Anne of the Island




Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child

Read the timeless classic about the fiery orphan Anne Shirley, now off to college, behind the hit Netflix series Anne with an E—now celebrating a hundred years of this children’s favorite.

Anne Shirley is leaving childhood behind and heading to Redmond College, ready for a life of her own making. With old friends like Prissy Grant and new ones like the dazzling Philippa Gordon, Anne trades Avonlea for the bustling city of Kingsport—and quickly finds herself in the middle of surprises she never saw coming.

From a hilariously awful marriage proposal to the thrill of selling her first story, Anne’s college years are full of joy, heartbreak, and unexpected lessons. When she and her friends settle into a cozy old cottage—complete with a mischievous black cat—Anne begins to realize that love might be closer than she thinks.

This special Collector’s Edition includes the original, unabridged text, a specially commissioned biography of L.M. Montgomery, and a map of Prince Edward Island.
