Anne of Green Gables: Lucy Montgomery

`Oh, it seems so wonderful that I`m going to live with you and belong to you. I`ve never belonged to anybody`

When a scrawny, freckled girl with bright red hair arrives on Prince Edward Island, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert are taken by surprise; they`d asked for a quiet boy to help with the farm work at Green Gables. But how can you return a friendless child to a grim orphanage when she tells you her life so far has been a `perfect graveyard of buried hopes`? And so, the beguiling chatterbox stays. Full of dreams, warmth and spirit, it is not long before Anne Shirley wins their hearts.
