Lucy Montgomery: Anne of Green Gables

`It`s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn`t it?`

My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, being called `carrots` by Gilbert Blythe.

My likes: Living at the Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew, my bosom-friend Diana, dresses with puff sleeves.

My regrets: Dying my hair green. Smashing a slate over Gilbert Blythe`s head.

My dream: To tame my temper. To be good (this is an uphill struggle). To grow up to have auburn hair!

Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out about the real Green Gables, the plucky author and more!
