A little background knowledge:
Anne of Green Gables was the first in a book series by Lucy Maud Montgomery and written in 1908. Many people, especially girls, read this series during their childhood - it’s popularity is right up there with Little Women and Little House on the Prairie. Somehow I got through my formative years without getting to know Anne Shirley, the main character of the books. However, my older sisters have always wanted to see Prince Edward Island, a Canadian province where the fictional stories take place. So when we found out that Barb and husband had a work function outside of Boston, along with my brother who works with them, it just made sense that me and two other sisters haul our mother out to meet them and start a quest to Green Gables.
To prepare, I thought any librarian worth her salt should at least read the first book. I also am in the middle of the second book and completed the new Netflix series, Anne with an E. I have since been told by Green Gable purists that the more accurate TV series was the PBS series. I stand corrected and will have to seek that one out.
