I love Anne! It was twenty years ago this past Christmas that I got Anne of Green Gables for Christmas from my grandmother, mixed in with a very nice sweater and the obligatory socks and underwear. I've never looked back. She and Emily have been my all-time favourite characters in fiction ever since.

The book says her hair was curly, but none of the movies showed it - she's always portrayed as having straight hair, probably because when you're braiding it, curly doesn't matter too much.
