Should you READ or WATCH Anne of Green Gables first?

Read the book first!

anonymous: I read the book first, because it is the original. The book has a lot of extra information and details the movies don't have.

Fay Favored: If I'm teaching a unit I always tell my students to read first, because many times the movie is nothing like the book.

Michelle: Reading the book is always better. Leave the idiot box off!

Chocolatealchemy: Definitely read the book first - to use my own imagination!

anonymous: it will be better

anonymous: book by far!!!

lovetolink: There is more scope for the imagination in reading first!

Jimmie Lanley: Absolutely read the book.

Abridged or unabridged?

Watch the Movie first!

eccles1: I love the whole story, it is a good family movie

anonymous: It was my favorite tv series of all time. I read the whole set of the books later on to understand more on the stories.

Have you watched the 2017 Netflix "Anne With an E" series?

Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite book series, and even after having read the book this lens taught me some new things. I loved the maps, they helped put locations into perspective :)

As a native of Atlantic Canada, I'm always delighted to see our own red-haired girl get her due attention. :)

MrsNagrom on December 06, 2012:

I love this series! I'll be honest, I never read the books but I've be captivated by the movies ever since I could remember.

lovetolink (author) on September 06, 2012:

@MelanieMurphyMyer: Thanks! I was so pleased to find the maps. I would love to visit someday too!

lovetolink (author) on September 06, 2012:

@favored: I agree. Wow, over one hundred, that's a fan! I think Megan Follows was just perfect for Anne. I can't imagine anyone else.

Fay Favored from USA on September 06, 2012:

This is one of my favorite series along with the movies. I've probably watched them over one hundred times. They are very well written and timeless.

WriterJanis2 on September 04, 2012:

Great introduction to the series.

MelanieMurphyMyer on July 25, 2012:

Very nice! I love the maps. I recently flew over Prince Edward Island on my way home from Denmark, and I was so happy to be seeing Anne's world (even though from the sky) and remembering the books and movies (shared years ago with my children) . . . I would love to actually go there someday. :)

anonymous on May 08, 2012:

I like the video clips. They bring back some memories when I was young as it was my favorite tv series. I love the character of Anne Shirley and the place she lived - Prince Edward Island.

Chocolatealchemy from London, United Kingdom on April 05, 2012:

What a great Lens you've created! The Anne books were some of my favourite growing up (actually even now, for a trip down memory lane!).

anonymous on March 22, 2012:

looks interesting.... i need to read 1st

lovetolink (author) on March 27, 2011:

@jimmielanley: Oh thank you! I'm really excited about it and wish I could devote all my time to it. Your lenses inspire and educate me so much. Now I know what a squatty potty is! LOL

God Bless you and your family:)
