I have not read Anne of Green Gables either. I only knew the name, but two years ago we were on holiday in Canada and went to Prince Edward Island, where they make a big deal of AoGG because it was set there and the author is from there, and you can visit the house which inspired it which is a huge tourist draw (very popular with the Japanese apparently). So we did, and it was fine, and I bought the book, but still haven’t read it.
