Avelynn and I both shed a tear at this one, I told her the best books make you feel like all the characters come alive and so they make you feel sad as if someone had really died

I read this book when I was little for the first time...and I return every couple of years. The stories...the red headed character...the Canadian back drop of the past....led to a lot of day dreaming. Two words- Gilbert Blythe. :)

Second (15th!!??) reread--- I decided to return to Prince Edward Island and attempt to finally finish the series. I lost interest when I was little once Anne started having kids and staying at home. I heard this happened with a lot of young girls....
It was such a delight to return to PEI!! Avonlea, Charlottetown, Diana, Marilla, Ms Stacy, Gilbert....One big hug. This book attacks Anne's arrival to Avonlea and her time at school until she leaves for teacher's college. I still teared up at the end....but I won't say why. I wish I had had a Mathew. I cannot wait to dig up the next book (which will also be a reread).

Read if you need some comfort....and want to meet a red headed girl with a huge imagination.

I've read this book multiple times over the course of my life, and it always seems to remind me of the first time I read it as a child. It's utterly charming, despite the fact that some of it has not aged super well.

I still cried over Matthew's death and cringed my way through some of Anne's scrapes.
