Review 76: Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery)

The wonder-full story of an orphan girl and the man/woman (a sister and brother) who adopt her. Anne is the picture of excellence and virtue, though she has her faults (temper, and tongue). Even her faults have a certain virtue -- as she is honest about them. I want to give this to my daughters -- should I ever have any. There is something so hopeful and encouraging about these stories; I am at a loss for words. You'll have to read them for yourself (by the way, keep reading the whole series. It gets better. I would actually rate Anne of Avonlea right alongside Anne of Green Gables).
