Reading about Anne's appreciation for life's loveliness made me appreciate my daughters and long to live more in-the-moment myself. Anne was even more delightful than I recalled, since I now have daughters who share her "scope for imagination," her penchant for large words and her zest for life. In spite of the amount of time that has elapsed, I clearly recall reading the last book in the series very slowly and thinking to myself, "I will be so sad to not be able to read about Anne anymore." When I picked up this book a few days ago to re-read it, I found within a few chapters that it was like seeing an old friend. I've read the Anne of Green Gables series once before - over twenty years ago. I don't often give books five stars and as I neared the end of this book, I gave some thought to how many stars this book deserved.
