it is about an orphan girl who is adopted by an elderly woman and her brother by accident. it is one of canada's most beloved stories because anne has the most wonderful imagination and really teaches the little town on PEI how to love and what it is to have an imagination

It's a cute story, and I own all of the books in the series.
The books follow the life of a little orphan girl with too much imagination and how she was accidentally adopted by a orgther and sister on a farm who really wanted a boy. She constantly gets into mischief and her imagination gets her in a lot of rouble sometimes. Each book is about a different part of her life (childhood, teen years, university, working, etc). The first movie "Anne of Green Gables" follows the books pretty closely. the next one "Anne of Avonlea" starts to combine the events of several books into one . . . and the last one (title I cannot remember) goes way off track into never-never land . . .

angel_of_joy yeah the first movie is the best one and so is the first book in the set. That's because both have one of the best scenes in the entire series. "Hey, Carrots!" *slate comes crashing down*

Kyrena Kalakali "Hey, Carrots!" *slate comes crashing down* I remember that! rofl It was so cute! But ya know, it was really annoying how everyone in that town kept assuming the worst of her just because she was adopted and had red hair.

But ya know, it was really annoying how everyone in that town kept assuming the worst of her just because she was adopted and had red hair. I know. Or the fact that she had such a big imagination and wasn't like everyone else made her peculiar. The part that really got my goat was when Diana's mother thought that Anne had deliberately given Diana those tumblers of wine . . . even though Diana was the greedy one who had served herself!

Kyrena Kalakali neka Man I really missed out on that one as a kid. If you do watch it, stop at Anne of Avonlea. Agreed. This is sound advice if you actually want to like the series. @ Kyrene Kalakai: It's that whole thing of anything people don't understand must instantly be bad or wrong in some way. They can't understand her because of her vivid imagination and wile tales and so just choose to make up explanations to better suit their interests. There's a great quote from a book I was just reading about that, actually: "People have a habit of inventing fictions they will believe whole heartedly in order to ignore the truth they cannot accept." - Delacorte Press, The Sweet Far Thing (2007), Libba Bray (I hope I got that citation right, its been a while since I've ever had to quote something in a discussion. I've fallen out of practice.)

(I can't remember proper citation etiquette either, so don't feel bad. sweatdrop )
