Anne of Green Gables....a second time


By way of illustration... Posted by Hello

I first read Anne of Green Gables (and most of the following books) about five years ago. I pronounced it one of my favorite books though, that is actually not so significant as it could be for, I like a great many books. But nonetheless, I certainly found it no worse for a second reading.

While I could not be so bold so as to presume to be "a kindred spirit" with Anne I greatly enjoy her imagination. I think L.M. Montgomery did a very good job conveying Anne's feeling in dialogue. I can just "hear" the italics. There must be something about imagination for it seems several of my favorite books contain a great deal of it. Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet and The Amulet by E.Nesbit... The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis... and perhaps others.
