Anne of Green Gables is beloved classic story about a spunky precocious orphan girl and her new found family in the fictional town of Avonlea. The cover references the well known scene where she rides home to her new life.
The red roads of Avonlea are hinted at with an energetic illustration of Anne’s iconic red braids. The background pattern references the “white way of delight” that so entrances Anne on her first drive, and the pattern is made from the shapes on the ends of the braids.
The handmade feeling of the title type references the historical time period and the unusual“A” ties in with the swirl that repeats in the braids
and the background.
