I’m so happy I finally got around to reading this! What a beautiful book. I adore Anne (with an e), so much and I see so much of myself in her. As a fellow INFP, I really understand and relate to Anne’s feelings. I especially relate to being told as a kid that I talk too much and use words that are too big. I relate to the way that she sees the natural world with such wonder, and constantly has an inner dialogue running through her mind. I’m always looking for kindred spirits, and when I’m feeling that sense of “otherness” I just have to remind myself that I’m not alone. Because people like LM Maude can write characters like Anne, I feel seen and validated. I’m so thankful this book came into my life when it did, especially when everything is so chaotic. Do yourself a favor and read this book, get lost in it, escape the craziness and just dive in

Charming. That is the word for this book.
I wouldn’t consider this a favorite book, but I did enjoy it.
Now maybe I could watch the film!

I loved this entire series when I was a kid. I reread this one multiple times.

For a children's character, Anne Shirley is definitely a very well drawn character. It is impossible not to know her - her love of nature, her tendency to get lost in thought, her inability to use less than 100 words when 5 would suffice. Aside from a suprise bump in the road near the end, this book is a lovely, idyllic look at life.
