This will always be one of my favorite stories of my childhood. It just brings back so many loving memories.

I originally tried to read this book as a little girl. Unfortunately, even as a kid, I never had much use for over-done, flowery, descriptive writing. It's a great book. It's well written and I love Anne and Marilla and Matthew and Diana but good grief it's taking me forever to get through it.

Listened to the audio production this go around, for a new experience. I am not as big of a fan of the audio but the story still remains a beloved classic in my eyes.
