I read these two stories one after the other in an omnibus book. I wish I'd have read this book sooner because I really enjoyed both stories. Anne was such a great character, and I wish I lived in Avonlea because it's sounds delightful.
The writing was beautiful and so descriptive that I felt like I was actually there.
Each character is very well-written and even the background characters are very fleshed out, which I really liked because there are so many authors who don't tell you much about the background characters.
I'm really looking forward to discovering the rest of L.M. Montgomery's books, she's an amazing author!
