For those of you who also enjoy the Anne of Green Gables series, you might like to know that a prequel- Before Green Gables- has been published. It's written by a Canadian writer, Budge Wilson. Warning- The book is well-written, but fairly dire in subject matter. In the original book, Anne tells of her past in a couple of paragraphs- parents died when she was a baby, taken in first by a woman with a drunken husband, then by a family with three sets of twins, and finally sent to an orphanage. Expanding this past to book-length is a definite downer. I need to go reread Winter Holiday to take the taste away.
