The Complete Anne of Green Gables 8-Book Box Set Reviews
-
1.
Anne of Green Gables
The original, the classic. I feel like I know every word in this one but it was no less magical in its rereading.
2.
Anne of Avonlea
It picks up nicely after the first one with Anne teaching school in Avonlea after Gilbert gives up his post for Anne so she may remain with Marilla and they might keep Green Gables. The arrival of Davy and Dora brings welcome levity after the sad ending of the previous book.
3.
Anne of the Island
Still rooting for Gilbert. It was heartbreaking watching Anne with Roy. I loved the moment before her graduation from Redmond when she decides to carry Gilbert's lillies instead of Roy's violets. Gilbert's Christmas gift of a pink enamel heart was a sweet throwback to their childhood days.
Ruby's death was just heartbreaking. Diana's wedding was also heartbreaking in a different way. It reminded me of how much growing up can hurt in all its exhileration.
The ending, with Gilbert and Anne in Hester Gray's garden is beautiful and so fitting an end to their old chum days while being a beginning to their courtship.
4.
Anne of Windy Poplars
My least favorite, as most of it is in letter-form from Anne to Gilbert. I love Anne and Gilbert and wished I could see more of the courtship but Gilbert hardly appears here and doesn't even speak. I wish LM Montgomery hadn't omitted Anne's "love letter" pages!
5.
Anne's House of Dreams
Finally, Anne is Gilbert's bride! A beautiful wedding and they're off to their beautiful house of dreams. I love the new characters introduced: Miss Cordelia, Leslie Moore, Owen Ford, Captain Jim. The Dick/George Moore sideplot is interesting.
Anne's loss of her first baby is sobering but the joy of her second, successful pregnancy makes up for it. I kind of wish "Jem" had been named Matthew James just because I'm partial to dear, sweet Matthew. I'm so glad Marilla and Mrs. Lynde come to visit the little house of dreams. It wouldn't be the same without them. It was especially heartwarming to see Marilla mothering Anne.
6.
Anne of Ingleside
This one started to drag a bit because it's much more focused on the kids than Anne. When the last book closed she had one kid, now she has 5 and then 6 when Rilla is born. I just don't like grown-up Anne as much as growing-up Anne, I guess.
Aunt Mary Maria and Christine Stuart are two "new" characters, though we did meet Christine in passing in
Anne of the Island but she's more fleshed out here. Fleshed out to be annoying, that is. She flirts with Gilbert far too much. I wanted to slap her for Anne. The resolution of the book, with Gilbert reassuring Anne, made laugh because whenever my own husband gets quiet or distant I assume he's plotting how to leave me.
Aunt Mary Maria is intolerable. She's like the anti-Aunt Josephine. Aunt Josephine seemed to be cold and easily angered at first but she thawed quickly. Mary Maria never does. Poor Susan. I don't know if I would have been able to hold back from telling her off and I'm pretty non-confrontational.
7.
Rainbow Valley
Just when I was going to give up on the series because of all the kids, this one redeemed it. Lovely.
8.
Rilla of Ingleside
I picked this up again and I'm glad I did. Rilla reminded me so much of Anne I now want to get the other post-series books. -
Possibly the best series of all time. Truly charming and heartwarming, especially the scene where "Gilbert and Anne are embracing on the bridge" (for further enjoyment this can also be seen in the movie, especially if you are helping with the KVIE Channel 6 fundraiser).
Seriously though, if you enjoyed the movies (with the exception of the third movie which was horrible; I spit on it), I urge you to read these books. There is so much detail and other wonderful characters, like the twins Davey and Dora. And if you are wondering what REALLY happened to Anne as she grew up (since you KNOW that heinous third film could not have gotten it right), read these immediately and be satisfied.
When I originally wrote this review, I had basically one goodreads friend and no readers and so much of this review is an inside joke. Now that so many people are appreciating my “spitting on that horrible last joke of a movie”, I feel I should explain. One night, long ago, before the invention of DVR’s, my best friend was spending the night and we were watching Anne of Avonlea on TV. It was during one of those television drives for viewer support and every so often, they stopped the movie to ask for more money. But our love of Anne was great and we endured the periodic sales pitch until the very end, which as you know if you’ve seen the movie, is a shot of Gilbert and Anne finally, FINALLY, kissing on that lovely bridge. Well, we sighed in bliss as very naïve and romantic 15 years old are wont to do and then, the show cut back to the middle age woman who was spearheading the drive and out of her mouth (and let me stop to tell you she sounded an awful lot like Julia Child, British accent and all, so imagine that voice when you read the next line), came this, “Well, wasn’t that a lovely scene, Gilbert and Anne, embracing on the bridge.” And (again as 15 year olds are wont to do, especially ones who’ve stayed up until after 1am watching Anne and consuming far too much garlic cheesy bread and Dr. Pepper), we collapsed into hysterical laughter. It’s a wonder the rest of the family didn’t wake up. And to this day, we still repeat that line. "Oh, KVIE 6 television drive lady, have you any idea of the impact you’ve had on our lives?” -
I estimate that I must have read this series at least fifteen or so times (and that is probably a rather conservative estimate at best), and actually do tend to read it at least once a year (sometimes even more than once if or rather when I need cheering and comfort). I love everything about the Anne of Green Gables series, and that actually tends to for the most part pertain to L.M. Montgomery's fiction in general. However, because her novels and short stories are such personal favourites, I have always found it more than a bit difficult to pen a review (or rather, what I personally would consider an adequate review). I also have the AOGG books listed on my shelves (singly), and will endeavour to write detailed reviews for all of them in the hopefully not too distant future (but that being said, so far, this has only happened with the first two novels, with Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea). However, I can and will say this about L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, namely that it is one of my favourite all time fiction series, and that I highly recommend it to and for anyone (and equally to and for both children and adults).
-
It's unfortunate I didn't discover this series when I was a young girl. I was introduced to Anne (with an 'e') by the PBS Wonderworks series in the mid-80's... And NO, I was no longer a young girl then, but a married woman, I'm THAT Old!!!
So what I'm sayin' is... If you've never read the series... READ IT! Anne is enjoyable at any age. And if you haven't seen the PBS series... SEE IT! It's set in what's quite possibly the most beautiful place in the world, (Prince Edward Island) during a simpler time... You can be quite sure Marilla never had to worry about Anne sending naked pictures to Gilbert via her cell phone. Then again, Marilla had to hand wash her clothes and never had the opportunity to order up dinner using only a phone and the number for Pizza Hut! -
I dyed my hair red and went on a pilgrimage to Prince Edward Island and cried standing in front of Green Gables. I had deep discussions with one of the tour guides at one of the sites who had gotten her Ph.D in L.M. Montgomery's works and could hold my own because I had read them so many times. These are the books that started my plunge into love for the written word. Anne of the Island is my favorite, Anne of Green Gables is next and then Anne's House of Dreams.

Anna dai tetti verdi ★★★
Anna di Avonlea ★★★
Anna dell'isola ★★★
Anna dei Pioppi Fruscianti DNF
La casa dei Sogni ★★ 1/2
Anna di Ingleside ★★★
La valle dell'arcobaleno SV
Rilla di Ingleside SV
In questo caso non abbandono la saga perché mi sta facendo schifo o altro, ma perché credo non ci sia nient'altro da dire
In futuro potrei decidere di leggere i due libri mancanti, perché un po' mi sono affezionati ai figli di Anna.
Non recupererò mai invece Anna dei Pioppi Fruscianti.
In generale l'ho trovata un'ottima saga di formazione, ma devo dire che alcuni temi non sono molto attuali
In alcuni casi è femminista, in altri meno. E' figlia del suo tempo.
La serie TV, grazie al fatto che è stata scritta al giorno d'oggi, riesce meglio in questo -
The greatest children's series of all time, in my opinion, and not just because she spells her name properly: A-N-N-E.
The amazing thing about this series is that almost every girl who has read it so strongly identifies with the main character - girls of completely different personalities. Everyone seems to find something to love about Anne of Green Gables: her love of reading, how he handles having red hair, her adventurous spirit, her constant muddling things. And don't even get me started on Gilbert. A beautiful story of an orphan girl who finds a home and an identity.
A side note: The made for TV miniseries version of these books surprisingly does them justice (with the STRONG exception of "The Continuing Story", that takes place during wartime, where the producers decided to abandon the storyline of the original books, and our beloved Anne for no apparent reason has the gaunt look of a heavy smoker and the theme seems to be 'disillusionment' - what were they thinking?). -

https://mrsbrownsbooks.wordpress.com/... -
Okay, so all books in the series are not equal--as time passed, Lucy Maud seemed to become more and more fond of ellipses and romantic descriptions--but I cannot overstate the impact these books had on me as a kid. "Anne of Green Gables" was even the inspiration for an independent study project I did in high school about the "girl's story" genre and its emphasis on orphans, self-made women, the moralizing influence of chicks, and how the seemingly-progressive virtues of intelligence, creativity, and education still earned women the ultimate reward of marriage in the end. Even with all I know, I still love these books to death, read them almost annually (especially when I am sick or depressed), and dream of someday visiting PEI and standing on the shore with the wind whipping through my (long, flowing) hair.
-
While I loved the early books, I really disliked books 5 and 6, which are about Anne as a full grown woman. I read the entire series as an 11-12 year old in the 90s and I just could not get over how disappointing her life ended up to me, given all the promise of her youth and how much she had overcome in her life. As the recent Ann Romney (faux-)controversy has rehashed, feminism doesn't necessarily mean you need to go out into the work force, and yes motherhood is a lovely thing, but I still hated that it seemed to me Anne ended up falling short of her promise. What is the point of going with her through the triumphs of the classroom and her eventual graduation from college as a woman in the early 1900s just to end up at the same finish line as every other woman on the island? Yes, realistically, the time in which it was written didn't really give women a lot of leeway in terms of profession, but with her incredible people skills and intelligence, why didn't she continue her work as a principal or teacher? Is being a doctor's wife (with the privilege of accompanying him to Europe for a conference) and 6 children the best a woman can hope for even in the imagined world of Green Gables?
As a young girl who was thinking of the future and the promise of it, I felt so disappointed and let down at the end of the story. Books are windows into other worlds where we are supposed to be challenged, stimulated and inspired. In my opinion, Montgomery created rare bird with all the promise of stratospheric flight then clipped its wings to keep it close to home.
Ultimate advice: Give your young daughter the first four books but save the last few until life has become less of an open ended promise or she will walk away disappointed. -
Tengo que recalcar que cada reseña la escribí al finalizar cada libro y no todas al final, por lo que no sabía lo que ocurríria en los libros posteriores.
1. Anne of Green Gables (5 estrellas)
El primer libro de la saga nos habla de la vida de Anne en sus primeros años en Green Gables y como a causa de un 'error' los hermanos Matthew y Marilla Cuthbert adoptan a una niña huérfana (Anne Shirley) en lugar de a un niño como ellos querían en un principio. y la forma en la cual ella cambia sus vidas por completo.
Comencé a tener interés en esta historia luego de ver la serie 'Anne with an E', que está inspirada en esta serie de novelas. En un principio pensé que la historia de la serie estaba muy relacionada con los libros y, por decirlo de una forma, que cada temporada estaba basada en cada uno de los primeros tres libros, no podía estar más equivocado. Si bien en un principio los eventos que ocurren en los libros son muy similares a los de la serie, cuanto más va pasando el tiempo más se van separando una historia de la otra, para terminar siendo algo completamente diferente, ya que la serie toma temáticas contemporáneas y feministas, mientras que los libros son más tradicionales e infantiles, como debía de esperarse por haberse escrito a principios del siglo XX. Aunque las diferencias me parecieron choqueantes al principio, debido a que no sentía que el libro tuviera la esencia de la serie, después pude valorar y disfrutar ambas versiones de la historia. Y más aún en los libros porque la historia es más extensa, ya que la serie sólo abarca los eventos de tres cuartas partes del primer libro, aproximadamente.
Anne tiene la habilidad de alegrarte el día y en todo el libro te la pasas bien, claro, con la excepción de esos últimos capítulos que son en verdad melancólicos. Aunado a lo anterior, no puedo comprender a las personas que sólo deciden leer el primer libro, con ese final lo que más esperaba era ver como las cosas mejoraban, porque seguro tenían que mejorar. Así que claro que recomiendo seguir con la saga para así poder superar ese final que me dejó con un vacío en el interior.
2. Anne of Avonlea (4 estrellas)
En el segundo libro Anne vivirá nuevas aventuras al lado de los personajes ya conocidos y otros nuevos que harán la vida en Avonlea más interesante. Durante los dos años en los que transcurre el libro, Anne empezará a dar clases a los niños del pueblo por lo que veremos otra perspectiva de esos buenos momentos en la escuela del libro anterior. Dentro de los personajes nuevos sin duda los mejores a mi parecer son los gemelos Dora y Davy, en especial Davy que tiene los momentos más memorables del libro. Puedo ver a este titulo como uno de transición entre el primero y el tercero que tienen una mayor fuerza argumental, por lo que en cuanto al romance entre Anne y Gilbert, no se avanza mucho de la posición en la que ya nos encontrábamos.
3. Anne of the Island (5 estrellas)
El libro tercero es el más romántico de la saga, por lo menos de los que he llegado a leer en este punto, y por lo mismo, en el que se desenvuelve la relación que tanto había estado esperando, y en verdad fue por mucho tiempo porque desde la serie estaba picado con esos dos. Más allá del lado romántico de esta parte de la historia, la relación de Anne con las otras chicas de la Universidad de Redmond me fue muy agradable y me la pasé bien leyendo sus aventuras. Así como en el libro anterior, en este también tengo mi personaje nuevo favorito y esta es Phil, la cual para ser una niña vanidosa, fresa e indecisa, me calló bien desde su primera aparición y también como terminó su pequeño arco argumental.
4. Anne of Windy Poplars (3 estrellas)
Anne of Windy Poplars es el cuarto libro de una serie de ocho que tratan sobre las vivencias de Anne Shirley. Este libro habla concretamente de los tres años que Anne pasará impartiendo clases en Summerside mientras espera a que su prometido termine sus estudios. En este tiempo ella conocerá a muchos nuevos personajes que le agregarán nuevas aventuras a la historia.
Dentro de los cuatro libros que llevo de esta historia, este es el que menos me ha gustado y el único que me ha decepcionado en cierto sentido, ya que pensé que se desarrollaría de una forma diferente, cuando leí la sinopsis y me enteré que el libro consistía en las cartas que Anne le escribía a Gilbert, pensé que sería con el tono romántico y poético que la caracterizan, el problema fue que la autora decidió no mostrarnos esas partes que eran las que más estaba esperando, una lastima. Además de eso, los nuevos personajes no tuvieron un gran efecto en mí al comienzo y fueron introducidos tan rápidamente que no conseguía distinguir quien era quien. Junto con todo lo anterior, Anne en este libro parece ser una persona indispensable para la resolución de problemas, debido a que toda la gente del pueblo la necesitaba y no podían resolver sus asuntos por ellos mismos, al principio estuvo bien, pero con el paso de los capítulos se fue haciendo algo repetitivo y poco realista.
5. Anne's House of Dreams (5 estrellas)
El quinto libro de la serie de Anne me recordó mucho al primero y a o que sentí con este, pero a la vez lo sentí fresco. En el se nos relata una nueva etapa en la vida de Anne en sus primeros años como esposa y en una nueva locación, la casa de sus sueños en Four Winds Point. Como ya es costumbre en la saga, en cada libro Anne concerá a nuesvos personajes, y en este caso estos serán el capitan Jim, Mrs. Cornelia y Leslie, con los que formará una gran amistad. Junto con Gilbert, los cinco tienen una muy buena química. Mi trama preferida fue la relacionada con Leslie y a mi parecer se convierte en una gran candidata a tomar el lugar de Diana como mejor amiga de Anne.
6. Anne of Ingleside (5 estrellas)
Ha sido uno de los que más he disfrutado de la saga, la incorporación de los hijos de Anne le dan un nuevo aire de libro infantil y todos tienen su encanto personal. Me gustó mucho que Lucy se tomara el tiempo para describir a cada uno de ellos, dándole más de dos capítulos personales, donde pude notar que Jem es el que recibió más protagonismo, seguido por Walter, Nan y Di, y en menor medida Rilla, pero también sentí que al pobre Shirley no tubo ningún momento especial, tan olvidado y tan poco sabía de el que ya para gran parte del libro no sabía si era un niño o una niña, ni cual era su apariencia, aunque espero que esto cambie en el siguiente libro. Además de todas las aventuras de los niños de Ingleside, Anne sigue teniendo un papel importante en la historia ahora como matriarca de la familia, donde tendrá que enfrentarse a nuevos desafíos matrimoniales y a saber guiar a sus hijos por el camino del bien.
7. Rainbow Valley (4 estrellas)
Al final en este libro no sudedió lo que pensaba, ya que se concentró más en la historia de los hijos del pastor (Jerry, Faith, Carl y Una) que en los hijos de Anne, pero tampoco me disgustó. El septimo libro de la serie de Anne nos relata las aventuras de los niños de Ingleside y los niños del pastor en Rainbow Valley y los alrededores de Glen St. Mary, enfocandose en su aprendizaje para ser unos buenos niños a los ojos de la comunidad. En general me lo pasé bien leyendolo. Muy divertido pero siento que me faltó ese toque dramático que Lucy M. Montgomery suele poner en sus libros.
8. Rilla of Ingleside (5 estrellas)
El útimo libro de la saga cambia de personaje principal, ahora enfocandose en la hija menor de Anne y Gilbert, la en un principio infantil y despreocupada Rilla. Este es sin duda alguna el libro más serio de todos, donde los acontecimientos de los personajes se ubcaran dentro de la Primera Guerra Mundial la cual traerá consigo graves concecuencias para ellos y para el mundo. Bien dicen que después de la guerra nadie volvió a ser el mismo.
Chronicles of Avonlea (3 estrellas)
Una compilación de cuentos de personajes que viven en Avonlea o pueblos cercanos pero que no son los personajes que conocemos de las novelas (Sólo son nombrados en ciertas ocaciones, a lo más Anne es personaje secundario en el primer cuento y en la segunda colección tiene un poco más de protagonisto en uno pero nada especial). Este último punto me decepcionó bastate, ya que por el nombre yo pensé que justo estos cuentos vendrían a complementar a los personajes que ya conociamos y que con el paso de los libros fueron dejando de aparecer, tal como Marilla o Mrs. Rachel, entre otros. Por lo que en ese sentido me parecio que se desaprovechó una gran oportunidad, aunque es un poco comprensible por el momento en el que la autora lo escribió, creo entre el segundo y tercer libro. Ya mencionado lo anterior también tengo que decir que no todas las historias fueron de mi agrado, unas se me hicieron excesivamente largas y aburridas, otras estan bien y algunas si me gustaron.
Furthere Chronicles of Avonlea (4 estrellas)
Ya para esta nueva colección de cuentos encontré una gran mejora en el desarrollo de las historias, donde el hecho de que la mayoria sean relatadas en primera persona me ayudó a meterme más en la trama y comprender a los personajes, que generalmente me cuesta mucho en los cuentos. También noté que los temas que se trataban eran mucho más serios que en Chronicles of Avonlea, tal vez debido al momento que estaba pasando en el mundo mientas Montgomery los escribía, la Primera Guerra Mundial.
Como conclusión general de toda la obra quiero decir que disfrute cada uno de los momentos que vivi con Anne y que estoy muy satisfecho de haberme atrevido a leer esta saga. -
Excellent
-
I really have read pretty much everything by L.M. Montgomery, much to my eternal geekiness-- she was my absolute favorite author growing up, and I devoured everything the public library had to offer. Anne started it, of course, but the Emily books and The Blue Castle have become my favorites.
Anne, however, is very dear to my heart, and I shall not disparage it in the slightest. Rainbow Valley and Anne of Windy Poplars are probably my least favorites, but I know her heart wasn't really in them. I have always had a soft spot for Anne's House of Dreams and Anne of the Island-- Leslie Moore and Phil Gordon are two of my all-time favorite side characters. I am a little less fond of Anne of Avonlea, mostly because I find the twins hit or miss. Rilla of Ingelside is interesting because we really see Montgomery as a mature writer and woman, and I've come to quite like Rilla as the heroine.
Anne of Ingelside is essentially some of her short stories padded with snippets about Anne-- I consider it and Road to Yesterday to be in the same league, although AoI has some darker undertones that I quite like, hints of the adult world and sexuality that belongs more in the Emily books.
Anne of Green Gables is one of the most perfect novels I have ever read. Period, end stop. -
4,5 estrellas.
dios QUÉ DECIR de estos hermosos libros.
amé cada uno de ellos, con todo mi corazón, no hay uno que realmente no me haya gustado. todos tenían su toque que me hacía amarlo. no me arrepiento para nada de haberlos comprado, porque pude conocer lo que pasaba en la vida de Anne después de lo que pasa en las tres temporadas de la serie, Anne with an e, que es la mejor serie que ví.
a pesar de que la serie sí me gustó más q los libros, porque incluye muchos más temas como el feminismo, racismo, etc, obviamente me sitúo en el contexto y año en el que la autora escribió los libros (hace 100 años LITERALMENTE) y entiendo que no sean iguales a la serie.
como dije, estos libros los amo y a medida que avanzaba la saga me iba encariñando más y más con los anteriores, son como hijitos para mi😭 y creo q nunca los voy a vender y los voy a atesorar siempre .'(
voy a estar eternamente agradecida con Anne, porque ella me hizo observar más las flores, los árboles, la naturaleza en general y apreciar más su belleza, y también le agradezco a la escritora, que creó a este pedazo de personaje y me dió el privilegio de conocerlo.
GRACIAS LUCY MAUD MONTGOMEY GRACIAS ANNE AMO A LAS MUJERES. -
I don't know how I made it through my childhood without reading Anne of Green Gables. But one winter while stuck indoors with my two young children during a very long Montreal winter, I read the whole series. It was like sunshine to my soul, and the images of Anne jumping on the bed not knowing frail little granny was lying on the covers, the image of her getting goose down all over her black dress while she was trying so hard to clean a pillow (or blanket?) and having her crush show up...I laughed harder that winter than I did all year. I might have some of the details mixed up, but Montgomery's inimitable wit and humor have stayed with me all these years.
-
3.8 average for the series.

Ok this is right now!! Of course I read every one of these years ago and loved them !!

***** 5 Cranky Stars *****
Precocious, ginger haired, freckle faced 11 year old Anne Shirly explodes into the lives of spinster Marilla and bachelor Matthew Cuthbert, owners of the farm Green Gables in Avonlea on Canada's Prince Edward Island.
The Cutheberts had sent away to the orphanage for a home boy to help aging Matthew with the farm, instead they got Anne who entered their lives like a whirlwind and just stayed there whirling! Anne attracts mishaps and mischief like a magnet but her inherent good humor and good intentions wins the hearts of all who get to know her.
The collection contains 8 novels which follow the life of Anne Shirley from school girl to Collage student to teacher, from girl to young woman. Her courtships and friendships, her trials and successes. Her friendships with a myriad of colorful people. The books tell of the days when children could still be children, when mothers made all their children's clothes and fathers mended their shoes, the days when children had chores to do and did not expect payment for it. When life was lived and not raced through; initially no phones but letters written between friends, no planes or motor cars, people walked or traveled by horse drawn vehicles, long distances were traveled by train or boat.
The 8 novels cover Anne's childhood, her marriage, becoming a mother and experiencing devastating loss. The later books concentrate more on Anne's children but she remains a central figure in all of them.
I last read these books as a teenager and my decision to reread them was a treat to myself, the books are written in the beautiful language of the time and the author had a lovely descriptive way of getting her stories told. I highly recommend reading these books either for the first time or re-reading them. Literature that has stood the test of time.
Charming, uplifting, the collection deserves 5 stars, collectively and individually. -
The reasons I don't like Anne of Green Gables:
1. She has to spell her name with an e. (She is pretentious.)
2. She doesn't like her red hair (Unrealistic. Every red-head I have ever talked to loved their red hair)
3. She isn't very forgiving (It took her how long to forgive Gilbert? Even though she did worse things to him and he forgave her.)
4. The books don't have a driving plot. (They just wander and meander.) -

Wonderful. Ignore the awful adaptation on Netflix and read the books.
They're beautifully written with well drawn characters, nice plot twists, and some humor. Whoever did the terrible version on Netflix should be ashamed of themselves. They took a lovely series of books and turned them into political propaganda filled with narrow minded bigotry, the very opposite of the author's original intent. -
I loved this series!

Love it!

I never read Anne of Green Gables as a child, only along with my children. Though they loved it and read the whole series, I wasn't crazy about it and stopped after the first book. It seemed entirely too verbose to me! Recently, after sampling the recent TV series Anne with an 'e', I decided to give it another try. (The TV Anne was really cute and that's what made me want to revisit the book; but I didn't like the treatment of the story and stopped watching after two harrowing episodes.) Anyway, this time I really got sucked in and read the whole series in one gulp. I still think there's far too much talk and not enough happening, but this time I really fell in love with the characters (including PE Island). The storytelling is masterly, and I emerged for air with a new appreciation of L M Montgomery's craftsmanship. Wow!
-
Having seen the movies during my teenage years and having served a mission in Eastern Canada where the books were written, I finally sat down and read the books. I loved them! The tales and adventures of the orphan ,Anne, were full of humor and heartbreak. Some of the humor in the stories for me came from understanding the traditions and personalities of the Canadian Maritime people. These stories are so easy to relate to that everyone will enjoy reading the books. Note: The third movie is totally different from the books. The last few books are so much better than the movie and stay true to Anne's demeaner and Character.
-
An absolutely fantastic children's series, that should be read at least once by everyone, regardless of your age.
Follow little orphan Anne (don't forget the "e"!) as she joins brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert on their farm. They'd been expecting a boy, but got red haired Anne instead. Her honesty, personality and warmth spreads throughout her village as she grows, touching everyone that she meets.
If you've only read the first book - find out what you've missed. The others, as Anne grows up, moves away, and then returns to Prince Edward Island, are just as good.
My only regret - that my daughter isn't quite old enough to enable us to enjoy them together.
