Reading this book was a wonderful experience. It has been a while since I dabbled in reading old books. Of course, I can’t go to the library right now. Well in all honesty I haven’t been able to go to that magical place smelling of old books for years. I miss those days sometimes. Anne reminds me of myself in some ways. She is probably more idealistic and romantic than me but she tends to daydream and we have that in common. It is hard to explain the world to someone who doesn’t daydream. Life is so much more interesting when you don’t limit yourself to the things that are happening. Plus, she’s a reader and I always get along with readers. Funny thing is I’m not that old but reading this makes me nostalgic. I guess coming-of-age stories can do that.
Anne is an orphan kid who mistakenly ends up on a farm in rural Prince Edward’s Island, off the east coast of Canada. Here this small wisp of a girl clashes with the brother and sister duo that adopt her. Originally they wanted to adopt a boy in the hopes that he might help them with the manual labor. A miscommunication with a friend results in Anne showing up unexpectedly. Not only is she the wrong gender but her imaginative world view and whimsical outlook contrasts strongly with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, two sensible and unimaginative siblings. She quickly wins their hearts and works tirelessly to win their respect. Meet your newest friend, Anne of Green Gables.
