It has taken me until last year to sit down and read Anne of Green Gables, and I loved it. I realized that Anne of Green Gables is a must read for every girl-- I say girl because I know that my husband would enjoy this book, but will never read it because it is too girly. Anne is a spunky, lovable orphan who comes to live with Matthew and Marilla (can't remember their last name), and this book tells of her childhood adventures. It is funny and teaches what life was like at a very different time... I don't know if it was a simpler time-- just a different time. Anne is a wonderful heroine who makes many blunders, but is good to the core. If you haven't yet read Anne of Green Gables you need to pick up a copy-- I have an extra!
