I was traveling and left my paper copy at home so I bought this one. Anne of Green Gables has been my favorite since I first read it. I was very disappointed to realize that this copy missed several small words and at one point an entire sentence. Had I not read the original, several parts would be very confusing to read.
One of my faves! 💕
This is such a feel good story about the growing of a young orphan girl, which teaches the power of kindness and just a little imagination. Anne’s experiences are so fun to read about, I feel like I laugh and cry in the right places, and there is never a dull moment! I especially love the setting of Green Gables and sometimes wish I could stay there myself! 🌿
I’m also so happy that this book is meant for young teens. I feel like we need more books like this to read in this time and generation. 🤔
But really, the beauty of this story leaves me in awe, and though the other books are just as good, this one will always hold a special place in my heart. 💕
SO BEAUTIFUL 😍
Out of all the books I’ve read in my life I still adore this little book no matter how many other great books there are.
