I introduced a young girl (and her mother!) to Anne of Green Gables!
They have never read any of Montgomery's books or even seen a movie adaptation. They are as fresh as they can come. And oh my goodness, I do think they will love it! The girl is the same age I was when I first encountered Montgomery via Anne. And we now all see what hopeless romantic self that ended up in! Oh well. Would or could I be me any other way? Besides, Montgomery is always a great start to someday introduce her to....Austen!
(Am I the only one who notices tendencies of Montgomery fans to be Austen fans, too?)

Fun!!! It's always so great to introduce an amazing book (especially series) to someone who's never touched it. I love that.
Sad, but true, I haven't read any of the Anne of Green Gables books. I've been to Cavendish, though, and that must count for something!
You have! I am so jealous! Yes, I think that has to count for SOMETHING! I'd still recommend a Montgomery book--The Blue Castle is my favorite.
Anne of Green Gables is the reason I have always, always wanted red hair. But I can't dye it. Because we all know how that worked out for Anne. And Gilbert Blythe. Sigh.
Ha ha--I'd actually wanted red hair before I read it. Which meant I was envious of her during the series, and furious that she didn't like what she had!
