For the past several weeks I have been watching "Anne of Green Gables" on BYU television. The original book was written in 1908 about a girl who lived in Canada. I think the versions I watched were some or all of those below. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series and I am sure there are several that have been added on to the original book story line.
Anne of Green Gables film series, a television film series directed by Kevin Sullivan, perhaps the most famous dramatized version of the "Anne" stories.
Then I read "Anne and the Dream House" online and there are several more I can read online anytime for free.
These are some of my favorite quotes from Anne Shirley:
Anne Shirley: My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anne Shirley: This is the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Cadbury: Tell me, what you know about yourself.
Anne Shirley: Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury... but if you let me tell you what I imagine about myself you'd find it a lot more interesting.
Every night I either read a book online or listen to an audio for free. This is all possible by "Library on the Go" furnished for the Northern California library system. I can check out three books at a time from Plumas Library and three books at a time from Lassen Library and a many as I want from the other sections that have books always available, like the classics. It is a wonderful source of books, what a service! And good reason why I am not buying books lately.
