I grew up loving Anne, and this book does set a believable foundation for the Anne we all know. There are a few problems. It is obviously written by a person from our modern world trying, not always successfully, to put herself into the Victorian mindset. There are a few anachronistic remarks (I believe that Czechoslovakia did not yet exist, for example.) And the writing is not quite up to the standard set by Lucy Montgomery. But overall, it is an interesting and engaging look at Anne's early life.Joan Lindsay Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08123884528324929656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-50140169057474634742008-12-01T00:06:00.000-05:002008-12-01T00:06:00.000-05:00When I saw the title of this book, I was hoping fo...When I saw the title of this book, I was hoping for a biography of LM Montgomery. Still curious about this one, though I'm going to make sure to read it in paper form, mindful of over-enthused YA audiobook readers. You're right, it's a turn-off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-35670808648163526882008-11-11T14:56:00.000-05:002008-11-11T14:56:00.000-05:00You had a case of the annoying audio book reader -...You had a case of the annoying audio book reader - that has happened to me in the past too.Nelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14571077334972520535noreply@blogger.com
