"The sweetest creation of childlife yet written" ~ author Mark Twain.

Gift Shop Edition, 1998

A 1908, first-edition of Anne of Green Gables, just sold for ten thousand dollars.  Shown here, the  1998 Green Gables Edition (produced exclusively for the Boutique Green Gable Gift Shop). 

Canadian author, Lucy Maude Montgomery used the old family farmhouse in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island as the setting for Anne of Green Gables.  The author is buried in nearby Cavendish Cemetery because she said, "it overlooked the spots I always loved, the pond, the shore, the sand dunes and the harbour." 

(L.M.Montgomery ~ November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942)
