Anne of Green Gables《绿山墙的安妮》是加拿大女作家露西·莫德·蒙哥马利的作品。1904年春天，蒙哥马利偶然间翻阅一本古老的随笔，其中记载着一对年老的夫妇，想收养一个男孩帮忙农事，却阴错阳差地收养了一个女孩的故事，因而触发她的灵感，开始撰写《绿山墙的安妮》，于1905年10月完成。

之后，她一次又一次地把它寄给出版社，直到第六次投稿，稿子才被接受。《绿山墙的安妮》于1908年出版，出人意料地畅销。该书的魅力逐渐征服了全世界的读者，到目前为止，该书已经有50多种语言的译本，还被改编为电影、电视剧、戏剧等艺术形式，是一部世界公认的儿童文学经典。马克·吐温曾高度评价这部小说，称“安妮是继不朽的爱丽丝之后令人感动和喜爱的儿童形象”。

本书由Alma Classics出版，是一部甜蜜的描写儿童生活的小说，也是一本感动家长、老师和孩子心灵的读本。此外，书的末尾有作者（The Writer）、书籍（The Book）、书中角色（The Character）等的介绍，还有一篇选择题测试（Test Yourself），可检验小读者是否真正理解了全书的内容。

Anne is an orphan with a penchant for daydreaming and distinctive flaming-red hair that catches the eye of everyone she meets. She is overjoyed to be sent to Green Gables, the Cuthberts' farm, which she imagines to be the home she has always dreamt of. When her new family, who had been expecting the arrival of a boy, display reservations about the newcomer, Anne must win them over with her charm, beauty and intelligence and find a way to fit in.

Originally published in 1908, L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables has come to be acclaimed as one of the world's greatest children's tales. Its numerous sequels, adaptations and spin-offs are a testament to the beauty of this simple story, which continues to enchant readers to this day.

Review
"Anne is the dearest and most loveable child in fiction since the immortal Alice." --Mark Twain

马修和玛丽拉兄妹打算领养一个能帮着干活儿的男孩儿，结果却阴差阳错领来了满头红发、满脸雀斑、心惊胆战的安妮。喋喋不休的“小话唠”在被马修领回来的路上，就征服了这个内向木讷、怕跟女人打交道的未婚老男人，而玛丽拉则是在想送走安妮的路上被她打动的。就这样，年幼就失去双亲、先后在两个寄养家庭充当劳役、又在孤儿院待了四个多月的，非常向往有个能接纳自己的温馨的家的小孤女，在绿山墙农舍住下了……

现在，让我们登上加拿大的爱德华王子岛，来到岛上的阿冯利村，路过“闪光的小湖”，步上“情人的小径”，经过“柳池”、“紫罗兰溪谷”和“白桦小道”，来到窗前长满“白雪皇后”的绿山墙农舍，去认识这个叫安妮的红发小姑娘吧！

露西·莫德·蒙哥马利（1874-1942）出生在加拿大爱德华王子岛的克里夫顿，她的母亲在她仅21个月大时因结核病去世，而她的父亲则在妻子过世后，离开了爱德华王子岛，定居于加拿大西部。露西·莫德·蒙哥马利从小就擅长编故事，15岁开始发表诗作。蒙哥马利的作品风格清新自然，笔触生动幽默，她用自己作品中人物的乐观、坚强和对生活的热爱，打动了全世界读者的心。

One of Canada's most popular children's authors,L.M. Montgomery (1874–1942) is best remembered for her first book, Anne of Green Gables, which brought her instant success. A series of sequels followed, as well as works such as Rilla of Ingleside.

MRS RACHEL LYNDE LIVED just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies’ eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde’s Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs Rachel Lynde’s door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.

There are plenty of people, in Avonlea and out of it, who can attend closely to their neighbours’ business by dint of neglecting their own; but Mrs Rachel Lynde was one of those capable creatures who can manage their own concerns and those of other folks into the bargain. She was a notable housewife; her workwas always done and well done; she “ran” the Sewing Circle, helped run the Sunday school and was the strongest prop of the Church Aid Society and Foreign Missions Auxiliary Yet with all this Mrs Rachel found abundant time to sit for hours at her kitchen window, knitting “cotton warp” quilts — she had knitted sixteen of them, as Avonlea housekeepers were wont to tell in awed voices — and keeping a sharp eye on the main road that crossed the hollow and wound up the steep red hill beyond. Since Avonlea occupied a little triangular peninsula jutting out into the Gulf of St Lawrence, with water on two sides of it, anybody whowent out of it or into it had to pass over that hill road and so run the unseen gauntlet of Mrs Rachel’s all-seeing eye.
She was sitting there one afternoon in early June. The sun was coming in at the window warm and bright; the orchard on the slope below the house was in a bridal flush of pinky-white bloom, hummed over by a myriad of bees. Thomas Lynde — a meek little man whom Avonlea people called “Rachel Lynde’s husband” — was sowing his late turnip seed on the hill field beyond the barn; and Matthew Cuthhert ought to have been sowing his on the big red brook field away over by Green Gables. Mrs Rachel knew that he ought, because she had heard him tell Peter Morrison the evening before in William J. Blair’s store over at Carmody that he meant to sow his turnip seed the next afternoon. Peter had asked him, of course, for Matthew Cuthbert had never been known to volunteer information about anything in his whole life.
