Wonderful, faithful adaptation
23 December 2023
I've watched this mini-series twice now and appreciate it even more the second time around. The actors and actresses are excellent, and, while there are a *few* liberties taken, this series is very faithful to the book, much more so than the Sullivan Productions. All the wonderful characters that are missing from the Sullivan version - Dora and Davy, J. A. Harrison, Miss Lavender Lewis, Paul Irving - are all here and played wonderfully by the actors / actresses. Anne of Avonlea has always been my favorite of the series, and I really enjoyed this adaptation. Such a shame the Anne of Green Gables from 1972 mini-series is lost. If the BBC's adaptation Anne of Avonlea is this good, then their Green Gables must have been amazing. Highly recommend to any Anne fan!
