Anne of Green Gables has been a favorite in my all-girl house for over a half-century.  Written by Lucy Maud Montgomery in 1908, this delightful story has long been a favorite worldwide and the Green Gables House on Prince Edward Island, Canada, is  a pilgrimage site for young women enthralled by the story, one without which no visit to Prince Edward Island is complete.ThisAnne of Green Gables Collectionfrom Doma Publishing contains most of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne stories as well as a few extras.

BEST IDEA - One of Grandma's acquaintances makes it her business to encourage a love of reading in the children she knows by stocking Kindles with great literature like this and passing them out.  Up to 8 can be managed from a single Kindle account and new books can be scheduled remotely. Can you imagine the surprise when they turn on the Kindle and find something new?  What a great idea!
