Jess’s Book Pick for October: Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery

By Jessica Schneider Oct 1, 2008, 5:52 GMT

I decided to return to a classic this month. This young adult novel is such a delightful one, I wanted to spread the word.

Now that it’s been around for 100 years, there are many versions available, but my favorite is of course Dover Editions, since they provide affordable, high quality books in public domain. Compared to the female Tom Sawyer, Anne is a lovable character. In a review I wrote:“The writing is also more advanced than most of the books published today—young adult or not. Maud Montgomery is not afraid to dip into large vocabulary at times, the way many contemporary writers, and especially young adult writers, seem to be. The dialogue is also excellent, and she manages to capture Anne so well.”You can read that full review here.
