Megan Follows as Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables, 1985 TV Mini-Series Production

Did you know that Anne of Green Gables was turned down by several publishers before it was accepted and published in 1908? Since then it has become one of the world’s best-selling novels, and it has been translated into over 36 languages. The musical version is Canada’s longest-running musical, and the novel has had a significant impact on the tourism revenues of Prince Edward Island.

What is it about this story of a red-haired orphan that has appealed across cultures and generations? Why are so many readers inspired by Anne? And who was the woman behind the book? Let me introduce you to her.

Nations grow in the eyes of the world less by the work of their statesmen than their artists. Thousands of people all over the globe are hazy about the exact nature of Canada’s government and our relation to the British Empire, but they have clear recollections of ‘Anne of Green Gables’.” ― Robertson Davies

    I have just spent a delightful hour exploring the works of Maud Montgomery in your company and it was like a salve in these challenging times. I am an ‘Anne’ girl, escaping to her beloved world of Prince Edward Island from an early age. Visiting it is now at the top of my list when we can finally travel again. I love Anne’s spirit, and ultimately her kindness as she learnt to accept Matthew and Marilla’s love. I too cannot stop myself from crying when Matthew dies. It’s like losing my own father all over again. Thank you for your fabulous ‘virtual’ talk. I’m looking forward to exploring more of my favourite authors with you.

      What a lovely comment to receive. Thanks so much, Gaby. I am glad that you too are such an Anne fan and that you got so much from my talk. I was just a basket case of emotions when I first got to PEI – everything made me cry with joy, sorrow and just the sheer emotions of the book. With me on that tour was a lovely lady named Margaret. She and her 100 year old mother were huge Anne fans, and every day Margaret sent photos and descriptions back to her Mum in Australia. The mother felt like she was on the tour too, and it was such an emotional highlight for both of them. Anne changes and enriches lives.
      I do hope you enjoy my other virtual talks – more lovely ones to come!

    Hi Susannah,
    I just love the “Notes from a book addict” thank you so much for all the fascinating reading.
    I started to watch the Netflix “Anne with an”E” but not sure if I like it as much as the original one made some years ago with Megan Fellows as Anne. My kids loved the series and used to watch it over and over.
    We read the book too an all time favourite.

      I have just finished watching the new series. I had some problems with the ways it diverged from the book, but I loved thr main actors and settings and generally I felt the spirit of the novel was there.
