“The strength of this collection lies in its diversity, which attests to the enduring popularity of L. M. Montgomery and Anne of Green Gables and the global impact of the book on both readers and scholars. ...Particularly absorbing are the contributions from Iran, Uruguay, Turkey, Japan, and Sweden, highlighting the global nature of Anne readership and scholarship. Highly Recommended.” D. V. Dominguez, University of Texas at Brownsville in CHOICE
