After reading and enjoying the first Anne of Green Gables volume (which was issued as a single book), I discovered this set and downloaded it so that I could continue on my journey in the life of Anne Shirley. Rather than reading them back to back, I read one, and then give it a rest before continuing on in the series. That's probably the way they were meant to be read, as the author most likely issued them in serial form.At first, I thought that not much happens in the books, but they are actually teeming with activity and full of interesting characters. People come and go, Anne and friends find themselves in interesting situations and predicaments, babies are born, friends and family die, and the full range of human emotions is experienced throughout the telling of their stories. Though the series was aimed at younger people, the interesting plots and people have a certain charm, and are never boring. My only regret is that I waited so long to enjoy this engaging series.
