Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Julie M. Prince

You know those classics they make you read in school? The stodgy ones that are so dry you have to keep Diet Pepsi close at hand just to make them palatable? Well, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is not that kind of classic. Its the kind that makes writers out of readers. The kind that inspires and lives on for generations despite the fact that its considered light reading and isnt nearly educational and literary enough to make the required reading lists at most schools.

And yes, its old&but its still appealing. Dont believe me? Check out the fourteen reader reviews right here at YABC:

So, why am I raving about ANNE OF GREEN GABLES? Because its baaaacccckkkk. The one hundred year anniversary edition has officially hit the shelves, complete with original artwork and a fascinating forward, written by L.M. Montgomerys own grandchildren.

Plus, its being simultaneously released with the new prequel, BEFORE GREEN GABLES, by Budge Wilson.

Is it worth checking out a classic? You decide!
