5.0 stars - It's hard to believe that I've never read this book, or series, before. This story of a Canadian orphan girl who brings great delight to an elderly pair of siblings in the early 20th century has stood the test of time, and is well loved to this day.
Anne is an eternal optimist, vain but humble, cheerful in the face of adversity, impulsive, kind, caring, and bright. With her active imagination and talkative ways, she wins people over everywhere she goes.

Somehow I missed this as a child, but I've now made up for that serious omission. Anne is an honest, sweet, fast-talking, big-word-using heroine whose imagination conquers any problem the world gives her; I would have loved her when I was 10. But as an adult reader, my favorite parts were the author's sly comments showing how the adults' behavior was so at odds with their feelings -- I'm sure kids would enjoy that, too.
