Anne Lover Around The World! Part 13: Kamil Trzebiatowski
I believe I was about 10 or 11 years old when I first read Anne of Green Gables. This was in Gdansk, Poland, where I was born. (I now live in the UK.) I remember being completely captivated by Anne Shirley – by her imagination, her poetic nature, her connection to nature and her gratitude – despite (or because?) the hardships of her earlier life. Most of all, though, it was her striving to be kind and striving to understand others that I think captured my soul.

Anne is also often the subject of my other creative activities, like knitting, cross stitching, embroidery. I collect souvenirs connected with her: dolls, books, first Polish editions. When I hear the words „Anne of Green Gables” my heart beats faster! Greetings from Poland!
Anne Lovers Around The World! Part 10: Melanie Charles
Anne taught me so much as a child, and continues to inspire me in my life today. She was different, but she didn’t let the views and opinions of others stop her from being herself. She helped teach me how to love myself, quirks and all. That’s such an important lesson for young people to learn, as well as adults!

Would it have been Seaview School??? And then I learned that Fredericka Campbell was a teacher at Seaview School for a short time...wow!!!

Anne Lovers Around The World! Part 7: Katherine Edwards
There seemed to be something familiar in the girl on the front cover, with her freckles, red plaits and private smile. I immediately felt that I knew her, which was confirmed when I started reading. It was the humour that I loved first; Anne's awkwardness and scatterbrained ways were so much like my own in a way I hadn't known in a fictional character before.
