Anne Of green gables Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 book by Lucy M. Montgomery. It was written for all ages, but has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-twentieth century. It is set in the late 19 century. The novel recounts the adventures of an 11 year old orphan named Anne Shirley.
