Oh how i love this series. Very old fashioned but sooooo enjoyable. Almost like a social history program of how life was back in the day. I know a lot of people wouldn't enjoy but if you don't want blood, gore, violence and sex it is perfect. It shows how innocent children were, how difficult life was for women and how they started to overcome this, also how cruel people could be too. Perfect easy viewing in my opinion.

Another one to go on my list, thank you, this has passed me by and Anne Of Green Gables was one of my favourite books.

Jane43, this is a reimagining of Anne of Green Gables, so please don't be disappointed that it isn't the same as the book.

Thanks MiniMoon I will give it a try. I doubt if I can remember all the details of the book as I was about 13 when I read it and its sequels.

I loved the first series, but now they are making it up. Way off what I remember as a wonderful series of books. The biggest crime is the relationship between Anne and Gilbert.

I loved the Anne of Green Gables books and initially enjoyed this series until Anne just got a bit......irritating.

Guess where my username came from?
Yes, Anne of Green Gables. Marilla and Mathew were the folks who took Anne under their wing. I always loved the BBC version which was recorded many years ago.

Marilla. Was Anne played by Kim Braden? I enjoyed that one.

Shelmiss Wed 08-Jan-20 23:20:51

Yes Kim Braden! I loved that version.

Loved Kim Braden series.
On episode 3. Enjoying it much more than I thought I would.

I binge watched it all, loved it, so much in every episode to discuss with dgd if she watches it. Was sad when it finished last night but it had a most satisfying ending

Just as an aside, is this the same Kim Braden who is the daughter of Bernard Braden and Barbara Kelly?
