Order of Anne Shirley Books

Anne Shirley stands as the beloved central character in L.M. Montgomery's cherished series of Canadian novels. This spirited orphan from Nova Scotia arrives on Prince Edward Island through a case of mistaken identity, ultimately finding her true home with two siblings who take her in. Anne's vibrant red hair serves as her most recognizable feature, while her vivid imagination and chatty nature define her endearing personality. The enduring appeal of Montgomery's creation has led to numerous adaptations across film, television, and other entertainment formats.

Anne first captured readers' hearts in Anne of Green Gables when it was published in June 1908. Montgomery continued Anne's story through seven additional novels spanning until 1921. The complete collection of Anne Shirley books follows both publication and chronological order:

Note: Readers may also find Anne of Windy Poplars published under the alternate title Anne of Windy Willows.
