This series was a childhood favourite of mine and I'm glad I revisited it. It is a beautiful and inspiring story about a smart little girl who's slowly becoming a young woman. Anne of Green Gables contains a strong female friendship, desire for knowledge, beautiful nature and lots of love towards people and life of any form.
The ending is heartbreakingly beautiful. After about twenty years (since my dad first read it to me) I still love this little girl, but my favourite charecter will forever will be Matthew, who - now I rralize - is surprisingly similar to my own father.
