Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert form a plan to adopt a boy to help about the house in their old age. But when Matthew arrives at the train station, there is no one there but a pert, forthright young girl who informs him that her name is Anne...with an "e." Charmed, in spite of his disappointment over the loss of a potential son, he agrees to take her home. From the moment she arrives in Avonlea, the citizens find her to be everything from delightful to impossible.
