Anne of Green Gables: Three Volumes in One

Revisting childhood favorites hasn t been a good exercise for me, tarnishing my hazy happy memories of, among other things, Thundercats, state fairs, that flannel nightgown I loved, and the smell of curry powder.I m so glad that Anne is still a girl I would like to be friends with, Prince Edward Island still sounds like a wonderful place to live, and I still want to wrap the stories and people of Avonlea around me like an nubby, comfy blanket.I pulled this down off the shelf because of booze a f [...]

I did not have the pleasure of reading Anne of Green Gables as a young girl It was recommended to me by my good friend and partner in reading, Hannah Johnson Going into it, I was afraid that Anne would be a sickeningly sweet Pollyanna type character, and she was However, I got used to the ramblings and she grew on me I found Anne of Green Gables to be a special story I admired Anne s imaginings and all the trouble she got into The story was also boosted by Marilla and Matthew The second story in [...]

I was sitting at the round table at church with some young people over a Sunday noon meal at church A young lady made a reference to Anne Shirley, and I said, Anne who Her jaw dropped You ve never read Anne of Green Gables I confessed I hadn t It was on my bookshelf at home, though, and I put it on my mental To Read list I finally got around to it, and I m glad I did Anne Shirley is an orphan who is brought to the Cuthbert home by mistake Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, elderly brother and sister, [...]

I would give this 6 stars if I could I love it, I was sorry when it was over and I just want to start reading it again Anne Shirley is the most animated, honest and passionate character ever.The rest of the characters are all so well drawn out i.e the stern Marilla, the shy Mathew, your usual cast of friendly and gossiping neighbors This book got me from the moment Anne was picked up in the train station and started her journey to Green Gables where there is in her words so much scope for imagi [...]

When I started reading this collection, I thought it was just going to be a sweet, wholesome story about a little girl which it was However, I didn t realize how attached I would become to Anne as I watched her grow up throughout the pages Montgomery creates such excellent characters who you can t help but fall in love with These three volumes were all poignant and beautiful After closing the book, I feel that I have grown as a person due to these stories, and that is what books are all about I [...]

Since this is actually 3 books in one volume, and I read several other books at the same time, I am not shocked it took me a month to read this beast Sometimes it is lovely to go back to a book you read as a young girl and especially lovely to go back and read a classic book, one full of innocence and romantic ideas and positivity That is what Anne of Green Gables is It is lighthearted, lovely, and well written There is nothing scholarly or historical to be read here, just a lovely read that yo [...]

This book had three volumes in one, Anne of Green Gables which I loved, Anne of Avonlea which I was a bit disappointed with Anne s house of dreams I had to wait to read as I wanted to read Anne of the Island and Anne of Windy Poplars first I loved them all but the first volume and House of Dreams are far and away my favourites, I couldn t put the latter down I m not finished yet though, there are three to go yet.

Sometimes I just loved reading these books and sometimes I was so frustrated with the writing Sometimes the author went into TOO much details about small things and not enough depth about characters or their relationships with each other However, I did like most of the story plots and I still think Anne is a remarkable character.

A wonderful series for the dreamers, the thinkers, the kindred spirits Anne is a quirky, fanciful girl who becomes lovable and endearing with each passing year s account Engaging story lines, excellent character development, and lovely settings immediately draw you into Anne s world, and a beautiful one it is.

One of my favorites Got it from Grandma when I was 11 and have loved it ever since Just finished it again SO different from the BBC movie production If you like the movie, you ll LOVE the book.

i think i have alot in commen with anne i loved her caricter but not the book as much.

At the beginning I didn t love this book I spent a good portion of time wanting to tell Anne to shut up However, much like she grew on Marilla, Anne grew on me a bit Overall it was a nice read.

Fresh and lovely I like the books when Anne is a young girl much better than when she s all grown up and mature.

perennial favorite, I re read this book every few years.

This is one of my absolute favorite stories of all time Although I have it pretty much memorized, it is still so fun to read over and over I love the movie adaptation as well

I started this by reading for book group and enjoyed it so much that I read all three volumes A must read for my kids.

I m not sure why it went from books 1 and 2 to the 5th book in this 3 volume set I ll have to read 3 and 4 to fill me in on some things about Anne s House of Dreams.

The

all books in the series was a read a loud
