A delightful book. I guess we must make some leeway for the morals imbued in this novel, since it's been 150 years since the book has been published. The weird XIX century English lit fixation with orphans aside, Anne... is a delightful book that clearly holds a dear place in many young and older readers alike. I can understand how, if I was a child, to be enthrailed with the adventurous spirit of the red-haired girl (although I can't understand for the life of me what's the darn issue with having ginger hair). Still, is a lighthearted book with just the "right" ammount of sadness and growing up to do that can lead children to the realization that life does need to move on, and not all is sunshine and rainbows. But they don't need to fear the road of life with its many miles to walk on. Because there can always be bends on it, and we can always believe they will lead to something better.
