Board Thread:Anne of Green Gables "Notes"/@comment-3493059-20160314123408

Today is Megan Follows' 48th birthday, and just last week was Anne's! So, for your benefit, I have collected a bunch of Anneish things from various parts of the internet. Here there are, in no particular order. Enjoy!

I have compiled a spreadsheet called An L. M. Montgomery Resource Guide, which contains comprehensive lists of LMM's books, various LMM adaptations, GGF episodes and PGG episodes. There are also links to places where you can watch some of the adaptations (hint, hint).

Entertainment Weekly published a little glossary of Anne Shirley-isms on Anne's birthday.

Anne of Cleves Gables is a funny webcomic I stumbled upon recently. You will appreciate it more if you have knowledge of Anne of Cleves, who was King Henry XIII's fourth wife for a short time.

Last year, M.E. Bond put together a page of 'Anne Through the Years' -- 95 different book covers of Anne of Green Gables that may be helpful for our own galleries.

You can get a lovely book of Anne paper dolls from Paper Studio Press.

I plan to do a comparison of the uncut and cut versions of Rilla of Ingleside eventually, but it appears that someone else already has! Have a look; it's very interesting.

Here is a rather critical review from 1940 of ... you guessed it ... the Anne of Windy Poplars movie starring Anne Shirley. It calls the movie overly sweet, but I suspect that's because the movie cut all the creepier parts of the book ... the graveyard tour and Tomgallon House chapters, for instance. Also, the plot is quite different. There's also a review of the 1934 Anne of Green Gables, if you're interested.

On the topic of reviews, Bailey Cavender did one for the BBC's Anne of Avonlea, and the Huffington Post did one for the Blu-Ray release of the 1985 Anne of Green Gables miniseries.

The L. M. Montgomery Literary Society have released the 2015 edition of their periodical, The Shining Scroll. Do have a look through their archives if you haven't read TSS before; it's quite good and very informative. Every year, I look forward to reading the newest one.

L.M. Montgomery Online is a great site for scholarly updates of LMM-related things. It's run by Benjamin Lefebvre, the editor of The Blythes Are Quoted.

And ... I'm not quite sure what this is, but it seems both bizarre and cute.

... wow, this post turned out longer that I thought ...
