Summary: 4.5 stars for a positive, uplifting and feel-good story for readers of all ages.
Comment: This review is for "Anne of Green Gables" which is the first of eight books in the series. It is a wonderful story, with uplifting and positive views toward life and what's important in life - relationships and caring for others. This story feels like life in a Norman Rockwell painting. Although it is classified as young adult (primarily girls ages 9 and older), as an adult I found it worthwhile and uplifting.
Story brief:
Anne Shirley is an imaginative and optimistic orphan with a keen sense of beauty and justice. At age 11, she is adopted by an elderly couple who live on a farm in Prince Edward Island, off the eastern coast of Canada. The story covers her life from ages 11 to 16 ½. In this book Anne attends the local school and then a boarding school where she earns a teaching certificate. The story is about herself, her experiences and interactions with various other children and adults in the community.
Of the eight books, I have only read the first two. The second book "Anne of Avonlea" was nice, but not as wonderful as the first book. I think the entire series might be best appreciated by younger readers. But the first book is a definite yes for all ages.
Story length: 308 pages. Sexual language and content: none. Setting: around 1900 Prince Edward Island off the coast of Canada. Copyright: 1908. Genre: young adult, human relationships fiction.

Summary: Anne of Green Gables

Summary: A heartwarming story for girls of all ages, at all times.
Comment: "Anne of Green Gables" is a classic every girl should read, no matter how old she is. The reader travels with Anne and delights in the poetry of everyday life seen by the eyes of a little orphan girl who doesn't cease to appreciate nature and whose wonderful imagination can turn a dull day into an adventure. This beautiful boxed set makes the perfect gift for either those who enjoyed the first book and would like to know what happened to Anne, or those who are reading the story for the first time.

Summary: Lovely
Comment: I am reading this set myself because I bought it for my 8 year old daughter & thought it might be a wee bit early to start it. So being a girl at heart I have got into the series and have just fallen in love with Anne Shirley and her adventeres! It is funny, sad, inspiring & lovely.

Summary: Good for all ages
Comment: It had been many years since I read the first two books. I recently took the books off my shelves and reread them and realized that even as an adult, past the "youg adult" stage of life, these are wonderful stories. I was amazed to see the copyright date and see that it was 100 years since Lucy Maud first wrote them. Anne girl has withstood the test of time. When I realized there were more books in the series, I checked here and found the anniversary package. The price was more then great and I loved these stories also. Anne Shirley will always be a "kindred spirit" to me.
