Anne of Green Gables

"She is the person who introduced me to 'A Girl of the Limberlost,'  'Anne of Green Gables' and the Betsy-Tacy series."

"I also adored “The Secret Garden.” “Anne of Green Gables.”"

"Fairly quickly I started reading novels — Verne, Lem, but also Anne of Green Gables."

"I still have a dog-eared copy of "Anne of Green Gables," given to me by my third-grade teacher … (I did eventually, after getting over my initial annoyance at being told what to read)."
