Set in the late 19th century, the novel recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11 - year - old orphan girl, who was mistakenly sent to two middle - aged siblings ; Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, originally intending to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island.

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, Canada. 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 and a reminder of her `` youthful idealism and spirituality. '' Montgomery was also inspired by the `` formula Ann '' orphan stories ( called such because they followed such a predictable formula ) which were popular at the time and distinguished her character by spelling her name with an extra `` e ''. 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. Plot summary Anne attacks Gilbert Anne Shirley, a young orphan from the fictional community of Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia ( based upon the real community of New London, Prince Edward Island ), is sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their fifties and sixties, after a childhood spent in strangers ' homes and orphanages. Marilla and Matthew had originally decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm at Green Gables, which is set in the fictional town of Avonlea. Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne instead. Anne is highly imaginative, eager to please and, at times, quite a dramatic individual. However, she is defensive about her appearance, despising her red hair and pale, thin frame. She is often quite talkative, especially when it comes to describing her fantasies and dreams. At first, stern and sharp Marilla says Anne must return to the orphanage, but after much observation and considering, along with Matthew 's strong liking to Anne, she decides to let her stay. As a child of imagination, Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close - knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables. The book recounts Anne 's adventures in making a home : the country school where she quickly excels in her studies ; her friendship with Diana Barry, the girl living next door ( her best or `` bosom friend '' as Anne fondly calls her ) ; her budding literary ambitions ; and her rivalry with her classmate Gilbert Blythe, who teases her about her red hair. For that, he earns her instant hatred, although he apologizes many times. As time passes, Anne realizes she no longer hates Gilbert but can not bring herself to speak to him. The book also follows Anne 's adventures with her new - found friends. Episodes include her play - time with her friends Diana, a calm girl named Jane Andrews and a good - natured but often hysterical girl called Ruby Gillis, and her run - ins with the unpleasant Pye sisters Gertie and Josie ; and domestic mishaps such as dyeing her hair green while intending to dye it black, and accidentally getting Diana drunk by giving her what she thought was raspberry cordial but turned out to be currant wine. At sixteen, Anne goes to Queen 's Academy to earn a teaching license, along with Gilbert, Ruby, Josie, Jane, and several other students, excluding Diana, much to Anne 's dismay. She obtains her license in one year instead of the usual two and wins the Avery Scholarship for the top student in English. This scholarship would allow her to pursue a Bachelor of Arts ( B.A. ) degree at the fictional Redmond College ( based on the real Dalhousie University ) on the mainland in Nova Scotia. Near the end of the book, however, tragedy strikes when Matthew dies of a heart attack after learning that all of his and Marilla 's money has been lost in a bank failure. Out of devotion to Marilla and Green Gables, Anne gives up the scholarship to stay at home and help Marilla, whose eyesight is failing. She plans to teach at the Carmody school, the nearest school available, and return to Green Gables on weekends. In an act of friendship, Gilbert Blythe gives up his teaching position at the Avonlea School to work at the White Sands School instead, knowing that Anne wants to stay close to Marilla after Matthew 's death. After this kind act, Anne and Gilbert 's friendship is cemented, and Anne looks forward to what life will bring next. Characters Diana and Anne Green Gables household Anne Shirley : An imaginative, talkative, red - headed orphan who comes to live with Matthew Cuthbert and Marilla Cuthbert. Anne is very sensitive and dislikes the color of her hair. She exhibits categorical interest in everything romantic. Marilla Cuthbert : Matthew 's sister, she is an austere but fair woman who objects to Anne 's imaginative, unusual conduct on the grounds of its being part of the same group of behavioral misconducts that bring about dereliction of responsibility or produce a disrespectful personal image. Life experience with Anne, however, profoundly affects Marilla 's ways ; in a very early instance, she experiences first - hand how worthless a confession under duress could be. Although conservative and austere, she is fond of Anne and has the glimmerings of a sense of humor. Matthew Cuthbert : Marilla 's brother, he is an overly shy, albeit kind, old man with a lumbering frame and above - average strength. Matthew takes a liking to Anne from the start and the two become fast friends. Because Marilla has primary responsibility for rearing the girl, he has no qualms about `` spoiling '' her and indulging her in pretty clothes and other frivolities. Anne 's schoolmates Diana Barry : Anne 's bosom friend and a kindred spirit. Anne and Diana become best friends from the moment they meet. She is the only girl of Anne 's age who lives close to Green Gables. Anne admires Diana for being pretty and for her amiable disposition. Diana lacks Anne 's powerful imagination but is a loyal friend. Gilbert Blythe : A handsome, smart, witty and chivalrous classmate who has a crush on Anne the moment he sees her. Unaware of Anne 's near - pathological sensitivity about her red hair, he tries to get Anne 's attention by holding her braid and calling her `` Carrots ''. Anne 's explosively hostile reaction only causes Gilbert to be more smitten. He makes several attempts to apologize, the failure of all of which do not seem to mar his admiration. He attempts to apologize one last time when he saves Anne from drowning ; Anne crassly rebuffs this attempt, only to regret it almost immediately. Years later, he gives up his job offer of teaching at the Avonlea school so that Anne may live at Green Gables, upon which the two reconcile and become good friends ( and eventually marry ). Ruby Gillis : Another of Anne 's friends. Having several `` grown up '' sisters, Ruby loves to share her knowledge of beaux with her friends. Ruby is portrayed as traditionally beautiful with long golden hair. She is hysterical and suffers from consumption ( tuberculosis ). Jane Andrews : One of Anne 's friends from school, she is plain and sensible. She does well enough academically to join Anne 's class at Queen 's. Josie Pye : A classmate generally disliked by the other girls ( as are her siblings ), Josie is vain, dishonest, and jealous of Anne 's popularity. Avonlea 's locals Mrs. Rachel Lynde : A neighbour of Matthew and Marilla, Mrs. Lynde is an amalgamation of vices and virtues. Mrs. Lynde is industrious and helpful, and does work for the church, yet she is famous for being nosy and condescending. Although she and Anne start off on the wrong foot, owing to Mrs. Lynde 's blunt criticism and Anne 's short temper, they soon become quite close. Mrs. Lynde is married and has raised ten children, although her husband, Thomas Lynde, is mentioned briefly and never speaks. Mr. Phillips : Anne 's first teacher at Avonlea, Mr. Phillips is unpopular with students, because of his boring and crude ways. In Anne 's case, he continually misspells her name ( without the `` E '' ) and punishes only her among twelve pupils who arrive late. He is described as lacking discipline, and `` courts '' one of his pupils openly. Miss Muriel Stacy : Anne 's energetic replacement teacher. Her warm and sympathetic nature appeals to her students, but Avonlea 's conservative parents disapprove of her liberal teaching methods. She forms a special relationship with Anne, who views her as a mentor. Miss Stacy encourages Anne to develop her character and intellect and helps prepare her for the entrance exam at Queen 's Academy, where she finishes in a tie for first with Gilbert Blythe. Reverend and Mrs. Allan : The minister and his wife also befriend Anne, with Mrs. Allan becoming particularly close. She is described as pretty. Mr. & Mrs. Barry : Diana 's parents. Mr. Barry farms. Near the end of the book, he offers to rent some tracts to help out Anne and Marilla, after Matthew 's death. Mrs. Barry has a severe personality, expecting her children to follow strict rules. After Anne accidentally gets Diana drunk, Mrs. Barry rejects the girl, forbidding Diana to have anything to do with Anne. This sanction is repealed after Anne saves Minnie May. Minnie May Barry : Diana 's baby sister, whose life is saved by Anne when she comes down with croup. Others Miss Josephine Barry : Diana 's great - aunt. Initially portrayed in a negative light, she is quickly charmed by Anne 's imagination, and eventually invites her and Diana to tea. She refers to Anne as `` the Anne - girl '' and even sends Anne beaded slippers as a Christmas present. Mrs Hammond : Anne had lived with her for a portion of her pre-Green - Gables life. She was very mean as a result of her husband ′ s death. Anne was treated more as a maid in her home than as a daughter or friend.

Anne of Green Gables has been translated into 36 languages. `` Tourism by Anne fans is an important part of the Island economy ''. Merchants offer items based on the novels. The Green Gables farmhouse is located in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. Many tourist attractions on Prince Edward Island have been developed based on the fictional Anne, and provincial licence plates once bore her image. Balsam Hollow, the forest that inspired the Haunted Woods and Campbell Pond, the body of water which inspired The Lake of Shining Waters, both described in the book, are located in the vicinity. In addition, the Confederation Centre of the Arts has featured the wildly successful Anne of Green Gables musical on its mainstage every summer for over five decades. The Anne of Green Gables Museum is located in Park Corner, PEI, in a home that inspired L.M. Montgomery. The novel has been very popular in Japan, where it is known as Red - haired Anne, and where it has been included in the national school curriculum since 1952. ' Anne ' is revered as `` an icon '' in Japan, especially since 1979 when this story was broadcast as anime, Anne of Green Gables. Japanese couples travel to Prince Edward Island to have civil wedding ceremonies on the grounds of the Green Gables farm. Some Japanese girls arrive as tourists with red - dyed hair styled in pigtails, to look like Anne. In 2014, Asadora ' Hanako to Anne ' ( Hanako Muraoka is the first translator in Japan ) was broadcast and Anne became popular among old and young alike. A replica of the Green Gables house in Cavendish is located in the theme park Canadian World in Ashibetsu, Hokkaido, Japan. The park was a less expensive alternative for Japanese tourists instead of traveling to P.E.I. The park hosted performances featuring actresses playing Anne and Diana. The theme park is open during the summer season with free admission, though there are no longer staff or interpreters. The Avonlea theme park near Cavendish and the Cavendish Figurines shop have trappings so that tourists may dress like the book 's characters for photos. Souvenir shops throughout Prince Edward Island offer numerous foods and products based on details of the ' Anne Shirley ' novels. Straw hats for girls with sewn - in red braids are common, as are bottles of raspberry cordial soda. In the first book, Lucy Maud Montgomery established the cordial soda as the favorite beverage of Anne, who declares : `` I just love bright red drinks ! '' Panorama of Green Gable farmhouse and grounds in Cavendish Entrance to Anne of Green Gables Museum in Park Corner Legacy and honours Buildings The popularity of the books and subsequent film adaptations is credited with inspiring the design and naming of buildings `` Green Gables ''. An example still standing is an apartment block called `` Green Gables '' built in the 1930s, in New Farm, Queensland, Australia. Museum Bala 's Museum, located in Bala, Ontario, Canada, is a house museum established in 1992 and dedicated to Lucy M. Montgomery information and heritage. The house was a tourist home owned by Fanny Pike when Montgomery and her family stayed there on a summer vacation in 1922. That visit to the region inspired the novel The Blue Castle ( 1926 ). The town is named Deerwood in the novel ; this was Montgomery 's only narrative setting outside Atlantic Canada.
