Anne of Green Gables turns 100!

This year, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery turns 100. I have not personally read this series, however after quickly reading the Wikipedia entry it definitely has sparked some interest for me. I am a fan of series where the character grows and goes through different stages of life.

I probably will not get to these books until much later in life, however, if you have read these and can convince me of their greatness I might just go ahead and try them sooner rather than later.

So, who out there has read Anne of Green Gables? What did you think?
