My mom recently started sending me my childhood books, and since I haven't read the Anne books since I lived at home (almost 15 years ago), I just had to read them again. I was not disappointed in one aspect of these books! They are still as magical to me now, at 32, as they were when I first read them at 11. If anything, I appreciate the writing even more. Every book is beautiful and entertaining. I'm so glad to have these on my bookshelf again so I can read them over and over again. It was like coming home to your best friend. Go read them again yourself!!!! You will not regret it!!
