I have discovered a whole new realm of fiction and it’s called…

…Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. It is by far the best classic book I’ve ever read. All the rest of the classics are long, boring, and have too much description. Well, enough to make me sleepy. Anne is a lively orphan girl who gets sent by mistake to an old maid and an old bachelor who wanted a boy, not a girl. Matthew Cuthbert, (the old bachelor) really likes Anne and persuades his sister Marilla Cuthbert (the old maid) to keep her. Anne is always getting into huge trouble. By accident. Anne Shirley has no evil intentions. She accidentally gave her friend, Diana, currant wine at her tea party when she thought it was raspberry cordial and Diana got totally drunk. Then when she made a cake for the new minister and his wife she flavored it with anondyne liniment instead of vanilla!!! (Don’t worry, I don’t know what anondyne liniment is, either.) So, as you can tell, Anne of Green Gables is not your ordinary classic. I’m already on the third book, Anne of the Island. I started the series a week ago. I think.
Gotta bail,

P.S. FYI…Anne of Green Gables takes place in the mid 1800′s on Prince Edward Island in Canada.
