Anne is lovable character - talkative and always gets into trouble. I'm curious to know if she and the smart Gilbert would finally get married. Maybe that's another love story. And, Anne and Tara are both English teachers:))
Can anyone help by sending a link to it?
I want to share here the photo of the house of the Green Gables,that I found on Twitter:
"..One of the most recognizable landmarks in all of Canada, Green Gables in Prince Edward Island..."-that's exactly,how I imagined the House of the Cuthberts:)"After Anne of Green Gables was published in 1908, there was a steady stream of visitors not only to the island, but the actual Green Gables house. By 1936, the Canadian government made the house part of a national park and turned it into a museum. Green Gables is the heart of the Prince Edward Island National park, which also holds within its boundaries the red sandstone cliffs, beaches, dunes, meadows and groves that Montgomery described so lovingly in her books. "
I just realized that you can download it for free for a mobile device. I added it to my iPad.
Nowadays I am interested in children's literature,I see you are an expert in it.:)
