An imaginative orphan is unexpectedly adopted into a quiet rural community, where her vivid inner life and stubborn spirit gradually transform the people around her.

24:12 20 Marilla forces Anne to walk through the "Haunted Wood" at night to discipline her overactive imagination. Anne survives the terrifying ordeal and vows to curb her fanciful ghost stories.
37:20 21 Anne accidentally flavors a cake with liniment for the new minister’s wife. Mortified, she is comforted by Mrs. Allan’s kindness and vows never to make the same mistake twice.

Characters
Anne Shirley - A thin, red-haired orphan with an incredibly vivid imagination and a "tongue fastened at one end." Overjoyed to finally have a home
Matthew Cuthbert - A shy, awkward sixty-year-old bachelor who lives at Green Gables. Though he is terrified of women and girls, he finds himself strangely charmed by Anne
Marilla Cuthbert - Matthew’s sister. She is tall, thin, with a strict sense of duty. While Matthew is the heart of the duo, Marilla is the logic. She is the one who ultimately has to decide what to do about adopting Anne by mistake
Rachel Lynde - The town gossip and "notable" busybody, she represents the judgmental social standards of Avonlea
Alexander Spencer - She is the "middleman" whose misunderstanding of the Cuthberts' request led to Anne being brought to Prince Edward Island instead of a boy
Diana Barry - Anne’s kind, pretty, and conventional neighbour who becomes her first and dearest “bosom friend"
Gilbert Blythe - Handsome, confident, teasing, his thoughtless joke sparks Anne’s lifelong grudge and rivalry
Josephine Barry - Wealthy, sharp-tongued city-dweller, evolves to become Anne’s most generous and sophisticated "kindred spirit" benefactors
Mrs. Allan - Young, stylish, and deeply empathetic, a minister’s wife who becomes the ultimate role model and a nurturing mentor for Anne's emotions
