What a treat to read ANNE OF GREEN GABLES as Lucy Maub Montgomery saw it in publication. The original art and all of the proof reading mistakes are here in this 100th year republication, but don’t let the mistakes spoil this classic tale of Anne with an E as she becomes an essential part of Matthew and Ismirella Cuthbert life. She may have been an accident – they wanted a boy – made by the orphanage, but Anne is exactly what the older, unmarried siblings needed. Green Gables is full of life and

I, like most girls who were born after 1908, loved Anne of Green Gables as a child. Loved. But, darn it all, I can't remember a darn thing about her aside from the fact that even after I am old and married that I shall never forget her. Plus, we both kicked butt at school. And freckles. We shared hatred and consternation over our freckles.

I have read this before, and, frankly, never found much enjoyment in it. And, while reading it this time, I had the same reaction. It has only been since I finished the book that I realized I miss little Anne of Green Gables. Maybe this is simply a measure of a good book.
