A new adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic novel tells the story of Anne Shirley, a precocious orphan placed in the care of uptight Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew, played by acclaimed actor Martin Sheen.
Neither the adventurous Anne nor the conservative Marilla could anticipate the profound effect they’d have on each other’s lives.
L.M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables” was first published in 1908. The book remains an iconic work of Canadian literature and has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide.
