Anne is still my favorite but I did enjoy the escape to a different time this book offered. When reading this, I think it helps to remember this was written at a time when everything did not revolve around political correction and cancelation. Yes it does call someone fat and religion was important in children's lives. Also Beverly was a name given to boys. Understand all that going in and you should enjoy the book a bit more. I loved the friendships in it and the feeling of being a part of it all (a feeling I often get with Ms. Montgomery's books). I love the character known as Story Girl. I wish I had her gift.
