Anne of Green Gables mania

 Reading aloud The Story Girl, watching The Road to Avonlea, and ordering The Golden Road (sequel to The Story Girl), I decided to read a few books about the author and the beloved P.E.I.

1. The Anne of Green Gables Christmas Treasury by Carolyn Strom Collins & Christina Wyss Eriksson (I thought it was a collection of stories about Anne at Christmas. It is not!)-a collection of a decorations, crafts, ideas and recipes featured/mentioned in Anne of Green Gables. Quite a few sewing projects. I just glanced through this one.

2. The Landscapes of Anne of Green Gables by Catherine Reid    This book showcases the breath-taking scenery of Prince Edward Island via photographs. The text relates more about L.M. Montgomery's life and how much she loved the island. I am currently reading this one. 

3. Anne of Green Gables, My Daughter & Me by Lorilee Craker -A Memoir  I just finished this interesting book. Mrs. Craker relates her own adoption and discovery of her biological parents and then the adoption of her own daughter, Phoebe from Korea. She incorporates excerpts and scenes from the Anne books as she processes heartache, disappointment and confusion. Impressive how she integrates so many facets-her adoption, her daughter's adoption, Anne, travels to P.E.I. and research of L.M. Montgomery. Mrs.Craker seems to be a Christian. She mentions God and His faithful presence in all of her life stages. 

-I borrowed all three of these books from the library.
