Reviews

[Barbara · Rating 5 out of 5]

During a summer of revisiting classics, I found Anne of Green Gables to be one of the best. It was definitely very old-fashioned, in plot and writing style. However, the writing was good writing. The descriptions were from another time, which from my perspective was much of the charm. I revisited the world of the early 1900s through the eyes of Anne and of Maud Montgomery. It took me back to a time when life was simpler.

This copy of Anne of Green Gables was another Artfolds book. I definitely enjoyed the reading. This winter I’ll fold it and perhaps pass it on as a gift. I got a real gift from the past and from Maud Montgomery as I read it. Anne of Green Gables definitely a true classic.

I would rate this five stars solely out of nostalgia.

Anne and Gil are my OTP. I would have rated this a 5 after pure nostalgia and feelings, but I'm not sure if the book alone warranted it.

[Layla Bohm · Rating 3 out of 5]

The low stars are because it was missing chapter 15. Otherwise, I'd give it five stars because it was fun to fold and I love the story.

Really enjoyed this sweet story. Not sure I'm up to the task of the folding!
