Mishaps in Avonlea

L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908, is set in Avonlea on Prince Edward Island in Canada. Brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert expect to adopt a boy to help on their farm, but a talkative red-haired girl named Anne arrives instead.

Anne's imagination leads to many mishaps. When Gilbert Blythe calls her Carrots, she breaks a slate over his head. She dyes her hair with a peddler's dye and it turns green. She serves her best friend Diana Barry currant wine instead of raspberry cordial, and Diana gets tipsy.

While acting out a poem in a leaky boat, Anne nearly sinks and is rescued by Gilbert. Her warmth wins over Avonlea, and the novel remains beloved, drawing visitors to Prince Edward Island.
