The Girl from Green Gables

It seemed  only yesterday that the skinny, freckle-faced redhead  had first come to the island. Now here was Anne,  teaching at the Avonlea school, sixteen, pretty,  and all grown up. Well, not quite grown up. In fact,  Anne was not very different from her restless  young pupils -- mischievous and spirited as ever and  headed for hilarious predicaments with a cranky new  neighbor, a hungry Jersey cow, a parrot with an  embarrassing vocabulary, and a truly  dreadful mistake!

The Anne Books  

Delightful, unpredictable Anne Shirley has  been charming readers of all ages, in every part of  the world, for over three-quarters of a century.  Bestsellers from the moment they were published,  the Anne Of Green Gables novels  have allowed generations of children to grow up  right along with Anne.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!!!!, July 26, 1998
By A Customer
I've re-read this book (along with the whole series) about 6 times, and I still find it so good it's hard to leave it until I finish it. Lucy Maud created a character that catches your heart strings and won't let go! (Well, I fell in love with Gilbert Blythe, but that doesn't matter)I also reccomend other books by Lucy M. Montgomery featuring Anne as well as others like Emily of New Moon, Kilmeny of the Orchard, and SPECIALLY, A TANGLED WEB. See if you can stop reading them once you have started!!! I asure you that you'll spend hours of enjoyment with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anne of Ingleside, February 24, 2000
By A Customer
I really liked this book. I enjoyed reading about Anne as a grown woman with children. Her children are really just like her. Their imaginations carry them on some very enjoyable adventures. I think that if you enjoyed the first few books in this series, you'd definately like this one too. To anyone who hasn't read the series yet, start them now. They are all very good books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettable, January 14, 2000
Without a doubt this classic piece of work shaped my life in various ways. I cannot emphasize how positive Anne Shirley is as a character. She is a heroine who is not only beautiful(spirit) but extremely intelligent. The most drastically different aspect of the novel is the fact that the romantic male character, Gilbert, gestures to the idea that "being smart is better than being pretty". How often spoken or written are those words? I believe that phrase is something young girls must recognize as well as understand in life. For beauty is fleeting and knowledge is eternal. Timeless and pure, I suggest this novel for anyone who loves a bit of comedy, romance,intrigue, and pure fun. This novel as well as the entire series is a gift. Enjoy!
