And somehow all the characters are lovely, regardless of whether they’ve been there since the beginning or were just introduced two pages ago. Against all odds, I loved Anne of Avonlea just as much.Īnd even more unlikely-ly, I loved Anne of the Island most of all. I adored Anne of Green Gables (in spite of the fact that I read it for the first time at 21 years old, on a whim, having no intention of reading it beforehand and, in fact, only having a copy at all because it was very pretty and I’m very book-shallow).

I know a lot of people are still waiting for their Hogwarts letter, and that’s fine and all, but I’m still over here waiting for my formal invitation to attend college with Anne and Gilbert and Philippa and the gang.
