When instead of the orphan boy they 

were trying to adopt, Ana Shirley, an 


eleven-year-old girl with red hair, 
appears in the lives of Marilla and 
Matthew Cuthbert, two single brothers who live in their family 
home in Green Gables, in the small town of Avonlea, her lives 
and those of those around her will change forever. With her 
vivacity, laughter and tears, and above all her joy and 
imagination, Ana will become part, for the first time in her 
life, of a family, and have a place that she can call home 
forever. 

Set at the beginning of the 20th century, in a place as 


magical as Prince Edward Island, in Canada, Ana, the one from 
Green Gables will take us through the eyes of this awake and 
innocent girl to feel the world as something totally new, to 
get excited and laugh with their occurrences, and ultimately, 
to see life from a more positive and stimulating prism. This 
work, like the entire series by Ana Shirley, combines the 
values of rural life and family with the universal questions 
that we all ask ourselves at some point, such as belonging to 
a land, the value of friendship or the essence of love.
