*‘It’s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn’t it?’*My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, being called ‘carrots’ by Gilbert Blythe.

*‘It’s a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere in particular, isn’t it?’*My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, being called ‘carrots’ by Gilbert Blythe.

My likes: Living at the Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew, my bosom-friend Diana, dresses with puff sleeves.

My regrets: Dying my hair green. Smashing a slate over Gilbert Blythe’s head.

My dream: To tame my temper. To be good (this is an uphill struggle). To grow up to have auburn hair!
