Green Gables


You probably recognize the fact that this page doesn't exactly match with most other shows that I've watched. That's because I made this page for my wife, who loves the works of Lucy Maud Montgomery, especially the stories of Anne Shirley. The movies starring Megan Follows are some of her favourite dramas of all time and so I've chronicled the works of Lucy Maud Montgomery's books as they've been set to television and film.
