Book Reviews of Before Green Gables
Book Review: Enjoyed the story but....
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed the story of Anne growing up, what a hard and tragic life she had but her imagination kept her going through it all or I think she would of become a very troubled adult. The only thing I have found was Budge Wilson interpretation is different of Anne than how rest of the Anne of Green Gables series is really like. Budge mainly left out how explosive Anne's temper could be in certain situations. Still the book was really good read I even cried at some of the unfairness that Anne had to go through with people she lived with and used her basically as a slave. Children were seen but not heard back in the 1900's and used for a lot of free labor.
Summary of Before Green Gables
A must-read for generations of book lovers. This remarkable, and heart-warming prequel to the classic Anne of Green Gables was specially authorized by L.M. Montgomery's heirs to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of the original novel.Before Green Gables is the story of Anne Shirley's life before her arrival at Green Gables-a heartwarming tale of a precocious child whose lively imagination and relentless spirit help her to overcome difficult circumstances and of a young girl's ability to love, learn, and above all, dream.
Published in 1908, L. M. Montgomery's coming-of-age classic Anne of Green Gables has enchanted generations of readers, both children and adults. The story of the spunky red-haired orphan from Prince Edward Island is known to millions, and copies of the eight titles in the series have never gone out of print.
But when readers first meet Anne, she is eleven, and has just been sent from an orphanage to meet her new family. No one ever learned the events of Anne's life before she arrived at Green Gables.
Until now.
For the millions of readers who devoured the Green Gables series, Before Green Gables is an irresistible treat; the account of how one of literature's most beloved heroines became the girl who captivated the world.
