Anne of Green Gables

Have any of you ever read this book or its many sequels? Neither of us had read them, but it seemed like we were the only ones in the world. Prince Edward Island (PEI)  is all about Anne.  The fictional books took place on PEI where the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, grew up. The house referenced in the title actually exists and folks come from all over the world to see it and some of the other places described in the novels.  There's a real cult following for the books in Japan.  It's not just kids, either.  Adults really eat it up too. It's almost a Harry Potter kind of thing.  The green gables house and grounds are actually part of the Canadian National Park system! We figured we had to see what it was all about, so we bought a DVD which had been filmed there.  It was a sweet movie and it really did a good job of showing the beauty of PEI.
