    Thank you for the wonderful lens. I've been thinking of doing a lens on the Anne-girl, but I don't know that I could follow this one up nearly as well! I have not had the pleasure of going to PEI, but I have wanted to go since I was a little girl watching the movies and listening to my mother read these wonderful stories aloud with me.

    We had a short visit to PEI last fall as a stop on a cruise ship. I loved it and would love to go back when I have more time to explore. Thanks for the great lens. Blessed.

    What a wonderful lens on Lucy Maud Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables - a Canadian classic! I too was able to visit the home on PEI and it is so worth the trip. Blessed.

    What a neat lens! It was good to learn about the author.
    I love the movies and never get tired of them.

    Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie will ALWAYS be the best Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe ever in my mind. Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla and Schuyler Grant as Diana were excellent as those characters. I don't think ANYONE else can surpass them. They were the BEST!!! Those videos were wonderful - thank you.

    Hi Brenda, I noticed you had several Anne of Green Gables-themed lenses and wanted to point somethng out to you. I had a WIP lens using the URL ending "anne-of-green-gables" but just couldn't get around to finishing it, so I deleted it. So, that URL is available if you want it :)

    I have found many "kindred spirits" as Anne would say... over the years who love these stories as much as I do. The movies made for Wonderworks are better though... much much much much much better... just sayin! I didn't see links to those here, but maybe I just skimmed over them. GREAT TOPIC! A whole new generation can enjoy these.
  • Treasures-By-Brenda Sep 13, 2010 @ 6:23 pm | delete
    The movies you referred to were fantastic. They were made in Canada and later aired on U.S. television as a 3-part presentation on PBS' Wonderworks.

    Wonderful lens! Another person who has held my heart for years. I enjoyed the video and didn't know there is a prequel to Anne of Green Gables!

    Delightful, delightful, delightful. Much to read and take in. I'll be back.

    I've never read any of the books, but I have heard a lot about them. Maybe it's time...

    In revisiting this lens, I see a few books about L.M. Montgomery that I haven't read. I'll check for those at the library.

    I wish I could visit this area! *sigh* The only place in Canada I have been is Toronto when I was 16. I loved it. Great lens! Blessed by an Angel.
  • HorseAndPony Jan 20, 2010 @ 7:47 pm | delete
    We love Anne of Green Gables. I had no idea about the prequel and a few of the movies. I will be back to make sure we read and watch all of Anne. Also, not sure when you got your purple star for this lens but Congratulations!

    I just LOVE Anne of Green Gables! I especially loved the TV movies. I can watch them over and over. I am definitely hooked on everything ANNE too. Also, I would like to visit Prince Edward Island someday. What a great lens! I have joined your Fan Club, and will definitely be back to look at this lens again. There is a LOT of good information here.

    I just love Anne Shirley and her whole world. Maybe it's time for a re-read ...

    Thanks for writing this. I have decided that this is the lens I will brag about on Facebook tonight. A think a lot of my Facebook friends would enjoy it. Now I'd really like to see P.E.I.

    I loved the books as a child and it was a wonderful experience to visit "Green Gables" in PEI. It looked just like I pictured it in my mind.
  • Gloriousconfusion Dec 30, 2009 @ 6:42 am | delete
    This is a lovely lens - I have a website where, among other things , I am selling children's vintage books and I have linked to your page as I have a copy of Anne of Green Gables there. I am sure people visiting my site would be delighted by the wealth of information you have provided. I have given you 5 Stars.

    Great review. I had no idea there was books before green gables. Blessed

    Great writer and her books are superb. My daughter raves about the ones I gave her years ago and the movies are great as well. So is your lens. Top stuff.
  • JoyfulPamela Dec 14, 2009 @ 11:38 am | delete
    My daughter did a report on Prince Edward Island last year, so we enjoyed reading some of the "Anne" series together. Truly wonderful books! Congratulations on the purple star!

    Congratulations on that wonderful purple star. I think re-reading Anne of Green Gables is a must for 2010! Blessed!

    I loved reading about Anne of Green Gables when I was a child. I read it because my mother told me how much she'd enjoyed it when she was young. Your great lens has brought back so many memories for me. Blessed by an Angel.

    Wonderful lens! I was always reading when I was a little girl, and I can't believe I have never read these! My dad gave the set to my daughter for Christmas last year, and your lens has really inspired me to get them out and start reading them! Thanks for sharing all the info!

    I read all the books and watched Avonlea religiously. I honestly think the Avonlea TV series prompted the recent resurgence of the names Olivia and Abigail.

    I *love* Lucy Maude Montgomery's books! I didn't discover them until my 30's but I enjoyed them all the same. Thanks for this lens.

    I loved reading the Anne of Green Gables books but my favorite by far was the original. I understand that it was also Maud Montgomery's favorite.

    I love this lens what a nice job you did!!
  • Cajean Sep 16, 2008 @ 1:36 pm | delete
    What a terrific lens you created for Anne fans!! I read the first book many years ago, and then saw the video series made around 15 years ago. I enjoyed seeing them over and over with various young ladies. Even my husband liked them. :-) We all loved them so much, that one friend went to P.E.I. for her honeymoon!
    5*, my faves & fan club too! :-) I'll be back to check out your links too.

    Wow, I love your lens. I love Anne of Green Gables and anything by LM Montgomery. I'm really looking forward to the new Anne of Green Gables movie coming out in Oct. 2008.

    I love the book! I read it when I was alreday 40!!! Because this treasure was not translated in my language (Latvian). Now it is, so Latvian kids can enjoy.
    Great lens! 5 stars.

    Amazing! I don't have words to describe it. Its a pity such good lenses get largely get unnoticed, leave alone ranked, like anywhere else. I found you on the forum and how glad I am....

    I have learnt a few lessons from your masterly lens, Brenda. Good people, after all, are not rare. They, sure, are going to find you and your work. Best wishes!
