Almost 101 years ago

One of the books from My Bookshelf. Inscribed to my mother by my grandmother. My mother would have been eleven years old that Christmas

My mother’s volume of Anne of Green Gables on the right. Laura’s newer version on the left

  1. I have the one on the left of your picture and several other books of Anne with an E on my shelf. I also gave the books to my grand daughters .I also, love the WQED version.

  2. I have not read it but having the one you have is a treasure. What is the book about? dc

    • An older farmer Matthew and his sister Rachel go to adopt a young boy to help on the farm- unexpectedly, they get a girl instead! That’s just the start. Her adventures are lively.

  3. Lovely memento. We have a story book that was my father-in-law’s (he was born in 1898) which we treasure. Interesting that you picture those Anne of Green Gables books. We traveled to Prince Edward Island in June and visited the Anne of Green Gables Museum there.
