Anne Shirley? What in the heck are you doing here?

My mother read to us a lot when we were little. Most of us were girls. And she liked classic stuff, so I grew up with a strong working knowledge of Little House and Little Women. (I don't think we ever read Little Men, but let's be honest, who did? Also: It's still about Jo!)

But the house favorite was definitely Anne of Green Gables.
