Anne of Green Gables

 

I just finished watching Anne with an E on Netflix and I decided it was time to return to the original source. I didn't read Anne of Green Gables until I was an adult. As a kid it was always a book I kept putting off. I've read it a few times as an adult and I also read three other books in the series.  But nothing is like the original book. I liked Anne as an adult but there was something about her as a child. I think it was her precociousness that won me over. There is a reason why this is a classic. The orphan wins over your heart. I'm pretty sure in another 100 years there will be many retellings of Anne of Green Gables.  It's the kind of thing that demands to be retold over and over again.
