Anne (with an e)

I’m reading the newly published Before Green Gables by Budge Wilson. I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. It’s true – Budge Wilson is not Lucy Maud Montgomery. But there are moments, when I feel like she’s written this book. It’s a treat for fans of Anne (with an e) and I know people who’ve read it and were inspired to go back and read the original series again. So far, I’m really enjoying it, but there are times when I think – would a five year old really talk like that? I could go on and on. To quote Anne “ I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't”. Happy reading, hopefully outdoors, in the sunshine.
