  When the Countess Narona meets Agnes Lockwood, the woman jilted by her fiancé, she feels a great sense of foreboding. After Countess Narona’s marriage, she moves with her husband, Lord Montbarry, to Venice. There, disowned by his family, the lord apparently becomes a recluse and falls fatally ill. As much as Agnes tries to forget the episode of her broken engagement, her fate and that of the countess seem to be inextricably woven. Both are relentlessly drawn to the Palace Hotel in Venice for a final and dramatic encounter in the room where more than past emotions resurface to haunt them. 
  Loosely based on a case from the annals of French crime, the scene, scenery, players, conflicts, and especially the horror of this mystery come through the invention of one of our classic novelists.

  A mistake at the orphanage changes everything for an aging brother and sister—and introduces the world to one of literature's most unforgettable heroines. 
  When shy Matthew Cuthbert sets out in his buggy to collect an orphan boy to help on the farm at Green Gables, he expects a sturdy, quiet lad. Instead, he discovers Anne Shirley: an eleven-year-old girl with striking red braids, a fierce temper, and a breathtaking capacity for imagination. 
  Unwanted for most of her life, Anne is desperately yearning for a real home. But strict, practical Marilla Cuthbert insists the girl must go back. What use does an older unmarried woman have for a chatterbox who daydreams instead of doing her chores? Yet, beneath Anne's dramatic outbursts and poetical language lies a deeply starved, loving heart that slowly begins to crack Marilla's stern exterior and thoroughly enchants the quiet Matthew. 
  Anne of Green Gables is a heartwarming, timeless journey of found family, the awkward growing pains of childhood, and the transformative power of a resilient spirit. Watch as a "skinny and homely" waif blooms in the lush landscapes of Avonlea, discovering kindred spirits, scraping through hilarious mishaps, and fiercely defending her right to dream.
