Send us a textToday we’re officially wrapping up and ranking everything in our latest coming of age miniseries covering the Anne of Green Gables 8-book collection by L.M. Montgomery, and the classic movie adaptations! And… announcing the POP-u-lar book series we’ll be covering for the fall. 😉We’re here to give you the “411” on everything from the most popular to the lesser-read books in the series, and answer the question of whether or not they’re ALL worth the read. Then we discuss the popular 1980’s miniseries and the subsequent year 2000 reboot. Did we love or hate them? Our opinions might surprise you! Check out our kickoff episode all about what the Bildungsroman is, why women and girls’ stories are so important for everyone to read, and how Montgomery expertly uses this book series to critique social and political issues of the early 1900’s, with an emphasis on women’s roles in society. We also provide a bit of context by discussing Montgomery’s life, and the political climate in Canada when this story takes place. Coming of age tales can be so much more than simple children’s books. We hope that you enjoyed our coverage of this beloved classic, and that it inspired you to pick it up for the first time, reread, or learn a little bit more about the social issues Montgomery used these books to examine! We know we did. Check out our Anne of Green Gables Playlist | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLmUGmwxrZs&list=PLHf5v0KOoZMk43z5cbKp6b9WVMXwsYWki&pp=gAQB Don't be shy, subscribe!
