MOVIES OF THE WEEK (PELÍCULAS DE LA SEMANA)

I just returned from Prince Edward Island, Canada, where I visited the home of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables.  The house is now a tourist attraction ran by relatives of L M Montgomery.

I’ve seen several versions of this movie, all of which were reasonably good, but my favorite is the one staring Megan Fellows in the role of Anne Shirley.  The way Anne looks at the world and her unique apologies captivated me.

Anne of Green Gables

Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Written for all ages, it has been considered a children’s novel since the mid-twentieth century. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. 

Since its publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies and has been translated into 20 languages. Montgomery wrote numerous sequels, and since her death, another sequel has been published, as well as an authorized prequel. The original book is taught to students around the world. (Source: Wikipedia)
