Anne of Green Gables is a classic
Anne of Green Gables is a classic. I've read the series since I was a child, and seeing this in the list as a Lovemark makes me realize just how beautiful and powerful the book really is. It truly is a Lovemark. I loved it as a book and seeing the movie made me love it more. I love the Gilbert and Anne love story. The Anne and Matthew touching relationship. And all of it as a whole.

I sometimes still re-read Anne of Green Gables
Lucy Maud Montgomery who wrote Anne of Green Gables was born on the same day as Churchill. I am an adult and I sometimes still re-read Anne of Green Gables as it was so brilliantly written. Mark Twain commended the series of books on Anne & Lucy Maud Montgomery also left behind revelatory journals about her life and the red-haired heroine she created "Anne of Green Gables".

Some day we hope to go to Prince Edwards Island
I still have the whole series of Anne books since I was about nine years old. My daughters and I love the movies they made out of them too. Some day we hope to go to Prince Edwards Island and follow Anne's paths across time.

Feels like some one you know
Anne of Green Gables is an immortal tale of a red haired orphan who is adopted by Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, even though she was not a boy! Anne is one of those characters that really touch the heart and become so real that they feel like some one you know. When I find a fellow Anne-fan, we usually fall excitedly into exchanges like "Do you remember when she dyed her hair?" "Do you remember the linanment cake incident?" - and these incidents seem like a shared memory. Anne has legions of fans around the world. People in Japan actually go all the way to Prince Edward Island, Canada where the stories are set to get married and have their wedding pictures taken with a portrait of Anne in the background! I read the Anne series (8 books in all) at least once every year.
