Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive–it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
Just read Anne of Green Gables again this summer (not actually sure if I ever read it before, just remember being a huge fan of the movie in my childhood) and I truly ADORE this book. It is one of the most fun, heart-warming stories I have ever read. I just love Anne (spelled with an e), her big words, her desire for the ever so fashionable puffed sleeves, and all of her kindred spirits. It’s amazing how much trouble one girl can get into, but she makes you laugh the entire time. You fall in love with each of the characters, even gossipy Miss Lynde and especially Marilla! And Matthew and her bosom friend Diana are so near and dear to my heart. I hope to read this book many more times in my life. Avonlea seems like a dream world and I just love visiting it.
“There’s such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I’m such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn’t be half so interesting.” -Anne of Green Gables
