Anne spelt with an e!

It was an ordinary evening. Having nothing better to do and time heavily hanging upon my hands, I prodded on through the rush hour traffic to the British Library. The fully stacked shelves with a whole host of unfamiliar titles was not exactly the kind of entertainment I was looking for. I turned my attention to the DVDs, most of which are similarly unfamiliar. The cases all proclaim the same: Horror of the Century, A Timeless Classic,--never before never again, yes I have seen them all. Hang on. My mocking eyes rested on a green case with an appealing pair of eyes, peering through the rack. Anne of Green Gables, emmy award winner. Yup. this might be it. I looked at the running time. 4 hrs. that's more in my line. I borrowed it and went home in anticipation of a pleasant evening. It turned out to be a delightful evening. The innocent Anne, played to perfection by Megan Follows, has since become one of my all time favourites and I have the eight-set pack of anne series. It is the story of an orphan girl and her adventures as she grows up under the care of the aged Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. The landscapes of Prince Edward Island and Anne's dreamy romanticism blend well. Such a world doesn't exist outside. It can exist within and anyone shut out from such a beautiful realm is poorer any day.
