|summary=Charming, beautifully descriptive and it dances from laugh-out-loud funny to grab-a-tissue sad with ease, this is one of my most favourite books!
}}
It's very hard to write about a book that I love so much. I find myself wanting to tell you everything, but then we'd be here for hours! Most importantly, I suppose, it is a beautifully written book, funny and moving and incredibly endearing. Somehow, all of the characters are instantly and vividly alive with each turn of the page. I wanted to be Anne (I still do!). I would have loved to have her red hair, and I longed for my very own Gilbert who I could haughtily disdain whilst secretly admiring! I loved that she loved books, like me. I loved her story club, because I wrote stories too. I loved that things didn't always go well for her, because it made her more real, and endeared her more to me. She infiltrated my life in quite a magical way, so that I went on to study English, to write my masters on Montgomery's books, to travel alone around the world to visit the tiny island on which she lived, and I have met so many wonderful 'kindred spirits' from all over the world thanks to Anne of Green Gables and L M Montgomery's other books. I hope lots of young girls see this edition and decide to pick it up and give it a try. Maybe it will be the book that lives in their hearts forever too.
You can go from Anne and read any of Montgomery's other books but my other particular favourite is [[Jane of Lantern Hill by L M Montgomery|Jane of Lantern Hill]] . [[Rilla of Ingleside by L M Montgomery|Rilla of Ingleside]] is an important and enjoyable work although we weren't keen on the romance element. You might also enjoy [[A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett]] or [[The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall]]
