Book Reviews of The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, ... Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside)
Book Review: Great detail about old times, plus Anne Shirley is a great character
Summary: 5 Stars
I like these books for 2 reasons:
1. The stories of Anne Shirley feel like the stories and details people may have heard from their grand mothers about their every day life. Examples: putting a hot water bottle in blankets to keep the bed warm - well, of course they didn't have central heating back then and it was still as cold then as now! Another example is about the elaborate tea times and the etiquette around tea times. Another example is about girls making a deliberate choice of either getting married or staying as old maids and the expectations around these choices. There are many many such examples. I especially love the detail about clothes and fashion of the time.
The only negative about this is that several times it is so detailed that the story moves a lot slower than it could.
2. Anne Shirley is characterized as a very strong and very feminine. I enjoyed the detail about the different situations she gets into and the thought process she goes through.

Summary of The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, ... Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside)
Anne of Green Gables))Anne of the Island))Anne of Avonlea))Anne of Windy Poplars))Anne's House of Dreams))Anne of Ingleside))Rainbow Valley))Rilla of Ingleside))8 Vols.When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, send for a boy orphan to help them out at the farm, they are in no way prepared for the error that will change their lives. The mistake takes the shape of Anne Shirley, a redheaded 11-year-old girl who can talk anyone under the table. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination quickly win over her reluctant foster parents. Anne's feisty spirit soon draws many friends--and much trouble--her way. Not a day goes by without some melodramatic new episode in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on, Anne declares her eternal antipathy for Gilbert Blythe, a classmate who commits the ultimate sin of mocking her hair color. Later, she accidentally dyes that same cursed hair green. Another time, in her haste to impress a new neighbor, she bakes a cake with liniment instead of vanilla. Lucy Maud Montgomery's series of books about Anne have remained classics since the early 20th century. Her portrayal of this feminine yet independent spirit has given generations of girls a strong female role model, while offering a taste of another, milder time in history. This lovely boxed gift collection comprises Anne of Green Gables, Anne of the Island, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, and Rilla of Ingleside.
