For over a century, the novel Anne of Green Gables has given children and parents laughter, joy and heartbreak.
There have been six books within author Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne series, along with some short stories and spinoffs.
The titular Anne Shirley is a smart and spirited 13-year-old orphan whose life has already been a hellacious slog of abusive foster families and horrid orphanages.
There is more than enough material here to keep Netflix and CBC busy with this character for many years, especially if the story gets stretched and molded.
