I love anything to do with Anne. Love the doll and the books are timeless and wonderful to read. Anne's story has always been one of my favorites.

I love Anne of Green Gables. I never read the books, but I love the movies.

Oh Marly, you should get the books! They are so much better than the movies! (Of course, I think that about a lot of books turned movies!) But there is so much more detail & "stuff" they leave out of the movies! The one exception to that is Road to Avonlea, that was based on "The Story Girl" & "The Golden Road", both by LM Montgomery.
Nancy, I love your version of the book - that's so awesome :). I used to have all of the books from my grandparents & my one aunt, but somehow they got lent out & I never got them back :(. I do have all of the Anne books now, and some of the others - I love my series books! - but I've learned my lesson on lending out books!

Nancy, what a treasure you have! I have to share a sweet story with you about Anne of Green Gables. My children were home schooled as were all of their friends and so Anne of Green Gables was a staple in many of the homes. When my daughter was a pre-teen, she and her best friend loved to read all of the AoGG books. They were both hams and so one day they treated the friend's mom and me to a play, that they had devised on their own, with the raspberry cordial drunk scene. My daughter played Anne. It was hillarious. Fast forward to 4 years ago. My daughter was 26 and preparing for her wedding. She and her hubby-to-be decided to honeymoon on Prince Edward Island, a place where I used to visit and play when I was a young girl. One of the high spots of their honeymoon was a visit to Anne's home with an accompanying picture of my daughter with a bottle of "raspberry cordial" that was sold in the gift shop. It was so sweet that her new husband was so thoughtful to take her to such a 'girly' place and was such an awesome memory for my "Okie" daughter.

| Nancy, you should read some of the others. Outside of the Anne books, the Emily books are great too. And I especially love Jane of Lantern Hill. |

I really like the Emily books too, maybe more than Anne lol. I love both of them. Make sure you read the books in order. My favorites were #1, #3 (Anne of The Island), #5 (Anne's House of Dreams, even though it is sad), & #6 (Anne of Ingleside). Another LMM "series" that I liked was The Golden Road & The Story Girl. Hope you enjoy reading them!
