Why You Must Watch Anne With An E

Anne of Green Gables is one of the beloved children’s novels. Written by L.M. Montgomery, it’s a story of how an orphan named Anne Shirley found a family, a home, and a life of adventure. Because of how well-loved it is, it has had adaptations in theater, animation, film, and television. One of them is Netflix’s Anne With An E and its three seasons would move your soul.

Anne takes you to adventures

If you have always been interested by period pieces, Anne With An E will be a delight for you. The show is truthful to its era which is the early 19th century. The story takes place in Avonlea, a fictional place in Prince Edward Island. Despite its non-existence in the real world, it still makes you wish you are actually there. 

As the story begins and eventually progresses, the show takes you to beautiful and varying landscapes and waterscapes. It brings you to the neighborhoods, the town and its communities. You would see characters with their puff sleeves and fancy hats. It’s a step away from the modern world we know and see on a regular basis.

“I reckon every new idea was modern once—until it wasn’t.”
