- I do!! The show is wonderful extension of the two movies that where
- based on the orginal series of books Lynn MonTgomery entitled Anne of
- _________ (place your favorite title here. There are eight of them
- starting with Greeen Gables.) The TV show is based lossy on the series
- entitled Chronicles (And the Further Chronicles) of Avonlea. These
- books are a collections of short stories describing the life of the
- townspeople in Avonlea while Anne Shirly(Bythe) is not living there.
- The TV show takes great liberity with these characters,but the style is
- very close to the authors original intent. Any futrhter questions or if
-
- you want to talk about this further send me some email!
