Show Synopsis:
When a high-spirited, red-headed orphan girl is sent to live with the Cuthberts at Green Gables, they claim a mistake has been made since they had asked for a boy. But before Marilla and her quiet brother Matthew can send her back to the orphanage, Anne's winsome ways capture their hearts, and her winning personality and funny antics captivate all who come to know her.
