mistakes in it yet?”
Anne of Green Gables is one of the world’s most beloved
young heroines. This coming of age novel is a must read for romantics of all
ages. This book tells the adventures of Anne Shirley, a young orphan girl, age
11 who is mistakenly sent to Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother
and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm on Prince
Edward Island.
I tried to read this a few years ago and was so bored I
vowed I wouldn’t read it. This just goes to show that sometimes you really need
to be in the right mindset to read certain genres of books. This was so cute
and fun and warm-fuzzies abound. I liked it enough that I’ll keep reading the
series as the mood strikes me. I learned a valuable lesson: don’t force
yourself to read something when you don’t really want to read it. I waited
until I was ready to try it because I wanted to and not just because other
people pressured me to. Anne is such a likable character and it was fun to see
how she differed from the movies I grew up watching with Megan Follows. It was
sweet and lovely. It reminded me a lot of Little House on the Prairie in tone.
Really enjoyed it, and had fun reading about the mishaps of one of the most
beloved red-heads in literature. Diana getting drunk is one of my favorites.
