Anne's House of Dreams [Paperback]

<p><strong>A classic for all ages, this official, unabridged edition of <em>Anne's House of Dreams </em>features the unforgettable character of Anne Shirley and special memories, exclusively from L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter.</strong></p><p><strong>Every girl dreams of her perfect wedding day...</strong></p><p>For Anne Shirley, those dreams are about to come true as she marries her one true love, Gilbert Blythe, in the dappled sunshine of the old orchard at Green Gables. Soon the two will be moving to their own little dream house on the misty shores of Four Winds Harbor. And a new home means new neighbors—including the adventurous lighthouse keeper Captain Jim and the tragically beautiful Leslie Moore. In their first years together, Anne and Gil will experience both heartbreak and joy, and, of course, plenty of "scope for the imagination."</p><p>With Anne's beautiful gift of transforming the everyday into the extraordinary, it's easy to see why she's become a beloved classic of generations of readers around the world and a favorite of everyone from Mark Twain to Duchess Kate. </p><p><b>Chapter 1</b></p><p><b>In the Garret of Green Gables</b></p><p>"Thanks be, I'm done with geometry, learning or teaching it," said Anne Shirley, a trifle vindictively, as she thumped a somewhat battered volume of Euclid into a big chest of books, banged the lid in triumph, and sat down upon it, looking at Diana Wright across the Green Gables garret, with gray eyes that were like a morning sky.</p><p>The garret was a shadowy, suggestive, delightful place, as all garrets should be. Through the open window, by which Anne sat, blew the sweet, scented, sun-warm air of the August afternoon; outside, poplar boughs rustled and tossed in the wind; beyond them were the woods, where Lovers' Lane wound its enchanted path, and the old apple orchardlsW
