‘Ana de las Tejas Verdes’, by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Duomo Ediciones)
In English, it is actually titled Anne of Green Gables and was first published in Canada (where the author is from) in 1908. In principle, it was written for all ages. Over time, it has been relegated to a story for children. Its protagonist is Anne Shirley, an orphan girl with a great imagination who manages to make all the inhabitants of the fishing town where she lives, Avonlea, fall in love. The story takes place at the end of the 19th century.
What series has it inspired? One of the most successful lately, Anne with an E, on Netflix. Actually, its premiere arrived in 2017, but in Spain, the great boom came at the end of last year, when we were still between one confinement and another. If you ask any girl of about 10 or 12 years old, she will tell you that she has seen it. And if not, it is never too late. Amybeth McNulty, the lead actress, is sweet and funny.
