There were a lot of things I loved about this book. The episodic chapters make it a quick read. I loved the emphasis on the importance of imagination throughout life. Anne's hopeful and grateful attitude is contagious. The lush descriptions of the natural world created such a cozy atmosphere. That being said, I found Anne to be a bit exhausting. The non-stop chatter drained this introvert, even though it was fictional chatter. lol. I liked her significantly more once she got older and less chatty.
