“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” | I had seen this series on various must-read lists, but had never read it. I found the entire series with gorgeous covers at an unbeatable price at Ollie's (and I had a coupon too!). To my great delight, I found myself immersed in the picturesque world of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Anne is a character that you cannot help but fall in love with. She is kind, generous, devoted, imaginative and has an impressive vocabulary. The first book follows the orphan Anne as she is accidentally delivered to Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings of some advanced age who had requested an orphan boy to help around the farm, but end up with an imaginative and idealistic redhead. Their quiet, settled lives are turned upside by the little girl. The first volume recounts Anne's many blunders and triumphs as she settles in Avonlea and finds her family at Green Gables. This is an absolutely delightful story as a girl grows into a young lady. Anne is full of quirks, but her joy and optimism fill the story with whimsy and charm. |
