Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert were a brother and sister who wanted to adopt a young boy to help out with the chores around the farm. But when Matthew returned with bouncy red-haired Anne instead of the expected boy, Marilla exclaimed, "What use is she to us?" However, it's not long before the chatty, imaginative Anne has woven her way into the lives and hearts of those around her. Through a number of funny, touching escapades, the writer shows listeners why Anne is one of the most beloved heroines of classic literature.
