Anne of Green Gables

If you love the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery you are likely familiar with the descriptive beauty of words as well as the beauty of Prince Edward Island.

In reviewing The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables, The Enchanting Island that Inspired L. M. Montgomery by Catherine Reid, I'd mentioned that I loved the book and the original mini-series as we followed Anne Shirley's escapades while she took sleigh rides over snow-covered hills and wandered through red clay paths skirted with lush trees and scenic farmland

Well, where am going with this?




I seldom watch television but have taken time away from reading recently to binge-watch 'Anne with an E'. The introduction to this series fascinates me as much as does opening a children's picture book or my favorite naturalist's notebook. 

Anne Shirley's clumsy awkwardness is much like my own, and it's amusing and quite believable that Anne's vain about her hair color and her freckles and likes to recite nursery rhymes and spell out words for others. 

I love that this series shows us the scenic beauty surrounding Green Gables and concentrates some effort on the importance of impressions and imagination while mentioning books, book clubs and referring to the changing times.

It appears this series is set with an excellent cast that can pull off a more contemporary vibe while using dialogue pulled from Anne of Green Gables.  

Beyond everything, the words and language within the pages of Anne of Green Gables, recounts, "Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world."
