Maud is a very intriguing character...her emotional ups and downs were like a roller coaster right up until she died. My mom had collected some of the "Anne" books and my kids gave me a set a few years ago. Total Canadiana.....!!Coramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010295116578528701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29570558.post-1155147813948291312006-08-09T11:23:00.000-07:002006-08-09T11:23:00.000-07:00While on vacation I just re-read Anne of Green Gab...While on vacation I just re-read Anne of Green Gables. My daughter had just finished it and I picked it up to leaf through it and before I knew it I was knee deep in it laughing my head off. That crazy Anne Girl! <BR/><BR/>Reading it was like stepping back in time... I used to love to read and, like you, was reading "grown up books" at an early age. I would start a book at night and get so into it that I would stay up all night just to finish it. <BR/><BR/>Favorites were read again and again and always felt so comfortable and familiar. When I was in Toronto I realized we were staying in the neighborhood featured in one of my favorite childhood stories about a girl growing up in the depression. Suddenly then the area felt like "home". <BR/><BR/>When I "grew up" I purged a lot of my toys and things but I had a hard time getting rid of any of those books. What if I wanted to read them again?!! I ended up keeping many of my favorites and have re-read a few. I still have those books along with some of my mom's childhood story books (Pollyanna, Through the Looking Glass). Those old, used books are so precious to me and some of those are becoming a bit of a collection of antiques as I get older and older.Magnificent Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527247758901238724noreply@blogger.com
