Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery

This is one of those series that I really enjoyed reading and rereading multiple times as a child--even late at night with a flashlight after I was supposed to be asleep!  Montgomery's characters and her descriptions of Prince Edward Island and other cities in turn of the century Canada are so real that I had no problem immersing myself in Anne's world. This series is one of the reasons I developed a love of reading.
