  Green Gables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Green Gables is the fictional name given by author Lucy Maud Montgomery to a circa-19th century farm which was located in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
The name Green Gables is derived from the rich dark green paint of the gables on the farmhouse, those being the triangular sections of wall at the ends of the steeply pitched roof, occupying the space between the two slopes.
As a result, part of the nearby Green Gables golf course was moved away from the vicinity of the homestead and the area has been returned to a more traditional landscape.

But it's a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn't it?" She bent forward, kissed her reflection affectionately, and betook herself to the open window "Dear Snow Queen, good afternoon.
