"These MARVELOUS books tell the tale of a scorned little girl who becomes the heart of an unusual home and eventually endears herself to even the crustiest of townsfolk. As she grows her adventures (and misadventures, too) become ever more engaging, and the sometimes unexpected turns of her life on the way to her own womanhood and family will make you laugh, cry, and cringe on occasion.
Although the main character is fictional, the books will give you a clear view of day-to-day life in the late 1800's/early 1900's on (the real) Prince Edward Island in Canada.
My children (and I) have enjoyed these books at every age from pre-reading listeners up through early (and middle-aged!) adulthood. (Teens and pre-teens especially enjoy the love-hate-infatuation threads of romance that run through the stories.)"
"I can't even begin to think about how many times I have read this series. They are full of charm and imagination and heart and so many glorious big words and beautiful word pictures. I wanted to be Anne when I was little, red hair, freckles and all, even though my name is Diana and I probably am more like my namesake than the dramatic Anne. I always get a bit sad when I read the later books in the series as Anne's "voice" slips away and is replaced by her children. I always wondered what she was still thinking in her later years."
"My mom recently started sending me my childhood books, and since I haven't read the Anne books since I lived at home (almost 15 years ago), I just had to read them again. I was not disappointed in one aspect of these books! They are still as magical to me now, at 32, as they were when I first read them at 11. If anything, I appreciate the writing even more. Every book is beautiful and entertaining. I'm so glad to have these on my bookshelf again so I can read them over and over again. It was like coming home to your best friend. Go read them again yourself!!!! You will not regret it!!"
At a tender age, I remember watching the movie Anne of Green Gables when it first aired on TV in the mid-1980s. From then on, I was hooked. This was every little girl's dream novel! From then on, I set to work and read all of Montgomery's works and equally enjoyed every single one; but especially her first two in the Anne series - Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea.
This beautifully written series revolves around the small-town adventures of talkative 13-year-old, Anne Shirley. In and out of orphanages her entire youth and unloved and verbally abused by her previous foster parents, Anne is finally taken in by two elderly residents of the little town of Avonlea -- compassionate, shy Matthew Cuthbert and his austere (but soft-hearted) sister, Marilla. The story is set in the early 1900's on beautiful Prince Edward Island, in eastern Canada (not too far from where I live, actually).
Anne, the imaginative scatterbrained girl who thinks her "red hair is a curse", treats the reader to a humorous and touching story as she grows up in the loving Cuthbert home. Anne enjoys wonderful times with her new-found kindred spirit, Diana; makes several rehearsed apologies to the town gossip Mrs. Lynd; and is put to the test when her sworn competitor at school Gilbert Blythe, eventually falls head over heels for her.
We see her transform from an awkward and imaginative fiery redhead, with a temper to match her hair...into a mature and successful writer/teacher, who still has a flare for dreaming, and getting into sticky predicaments no matter where she goes.
The reader experiences many 'life lessons' vicariously, as Anne develops into a more mature and rich character: We learn that to dream and to imagine is to live; to never to lose sight of where we come from and who we are; to never give up hope in attaining a dream; and...to love and appreciate those that are dear to us while we are yet together. Anne also teaches us that sometimes the most wonderful dreams are closer to home than we may think.
It is no surprise that Lucy Maud Montgomery has touched hearts world-wide with her beloved "Anne girl.""
