A Canadian series of novels written by [[Lucy Maud Montgomery]], in the early years of the 20th-century, revolving around Anne ([[Spell My Name with an "S"|make sure you spell that with an 'e'!]]) Shirley, an impulsive, starry-eyed, and lonely orphan girl who is accidentally sent to live with a bachelor brother and sister in the tiny village of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island.

Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert had made the entirely sensible and practical decision to request a ''boy'' from the local orphanage to help the aging Matthew around their farm, Green Gables. Instead, they found themselves confronting a very redheaded little ''girl'', fantasizing about having 'raven black' hair 'rippling back from an alabaster brow' and being dressed in blue satin with puffed sleeves. Oh, and would they mind calling her 'Cordelia'?

Line 167:

** As preteens, Anne and her friends form a story-writing club. Anne comments that one girl "puts too much love-making in her stories" and that "too much is worse than too little".

** On meeting Anne, Diana pronounces her a "queer girl" (which doesn't discourage gay fans who see their relationship as laden with homoerotic subtext).

** In a similar way, L. M. Montgomery probably didn't mean to inspire chuckles when she named the domineering clan of ''Windy Poplars'' the 'Pringles.'

** In a similar way, Lucy Maud Montgomery probably didn't mean to inspire chuckles when she named the domineering clan of ''Windy Poplars'' the 'Pringles.'

* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Anne, obviously.

Line 311:

* [[Youthful Freckles]]: Anne.
