Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables) is beyond question the most popular girl heroine in recent fiction, and the reading public will be glad to hear more of her. In the present volume Anne is as fascinating as ever, and the author has introduced several new characters, including the highly imaginative and charming little boy, Paul Irving, whose quaint sayings will recall to the reader the delightful Anne on her first appearance at Green Gables.
Some opinions regarding Anne of Green Gables:
“In ‘Anne of Green Gables’ you will find the dearest and most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice.”—Mark Twain in a letter to Francis Wilson.
“I see that she has become one of the popular young ladies of the season, but I can assure you that if she had no one else to love her, I should still be her most devoted admirer. . . . And I take it as a great test of the worth of the book that while the young people are rummaging all over the house looking for Anne, the head of the family has carried her off to read on his way to town.”—Bliss Carman.
An English opinion:
“At long intervals there is sent across the Atlantic a book which lives in the public memory for years. Such were ‘Helen’s Babies’ and ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy,’ and ‘Anne of Green Gables’ deserves to make an equal sensation.”—The Nottingham {England) Guardian.

A thrilling tale of mistaken identity, the scene of which is laid for the most part in England of the present day. It is a graphic story of human, forceful life; of despair crowding a man even while a woman’s love seeks to surround him; of trickery and guilelessness; of vengeance robbed; of the unwilling masquerader who unknowingly follows the lead of justice away from the bitter of crime and the sweet of love, on to a new shore and through the mazes of English aristocratic life, till he rests at last where no man can foresee who has not been with Love a Pioneer.
