Dear Reader,

The spirited and imaginative title character was so unlike what readers of the day expected heroines to be that four publishers rejected Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel before it was finally released in April 1908.

But it turned out that the 11-year-old red-headed orphan Anne Shirley was exactly what readers wanted. ANNE OF GREEN GABLES proved an instant international success — and an enduring one. Rediscovered generation after generation, adapted into popular movies, plays and television series, it remains after a century one of the most beloved and influential young adult novels ever.

Now, Easton Press presents this timeless classic just as it first appeared in 1908: ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, an exclusive leather-bound Collector Edition vintage re-creation strictly limited to 1,908 hand-numbered copies.

An unforgettable heroine.Based in part on the author’s childhood, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES tells of an orphan who is sent to live with an elderly couple on Canada’s Prince Edward Island only to learn that she isn’t wanted — the couple are expecting a boy. Even worse, the skinny, freckled, temperamental and headstrong Anne is no one’s ideal of a pretty and well-behaved girl.

But much like Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel itself, Anne’s vibrant intelligence, idealism and imagination ultimately win affection and admiration. Never before had the real experience of girls, their fears and joys, their longing to be accepted and simultaneous struggle to be themselves, been so faithfully and vividly portrayed.

“She has worn well; or rather, there is no sign of wear about her,” declares the New York Times of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s “extraordinary” creation. “Natural wit, a fine constitution and a zest for living nothing could dampen, plus the inherent capacity for doing the decent thing...have kept her as a sound-cored apple with a good sharp bite to it.”

Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic in a beautiful Collector Edition.An exquisite re-creation of the rare 1908 first edition, the Collector Edition ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is the work of uniquely skilled American master craftsmen with an uncompromising commitment to excellence.

The binding is of supple premium leather and features raised “hubs” to strengthen the book’s spine, and 22kt gold accents, titles and inlay of the original 1908 cover art. Moiré fabric endsheets, gilded page ends and heavy-duty binding boards further enhance each volume’s beauty and strength.

The classic story and eight original 1908 illustrations are preserved on beautiful archival-quality and acid-neutral paper that will not yellow or fade. And the pages are not merely glued into the binding, as is common with today’s ordinary books, but Smyth-sewn with sturdy, pliable thread.

And each of the 1,908 copies of this Collector Edition comes with a slipcase specially designed for storing and displaying this gorgeous book.

The Collector Edition ANNE OF GREEN GABLES will make an unforgettable one-of-a-kind gift for any fan of the irresistible Anne Shirley.
