A warmly nostalgic coming-of-age story about an imaginative orphan girl finding belonging and family in a rural Canadian village at the turn of the century.

At the turn of the century on Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla decide to take on an orphan boy as help for their farm. But they get an unexpected jolt when they're mistakenly sent a girl instead: Anne Shirley.
