I would be more inclined to compare Anne of Green Gables to Pollyanna, they both involved orphans who try to find the best in their new families.

Well, Pollyanna was turn of the century, just like Anne. In fact, Anne was written 5 years before Pollyanna.

Most Excellent. I spent some quality time in Vermont, gave me a bond with the Pollyanna story.

Very nice. Sometimes a vacation or adventure doesnt have to be one thats extravagant or on the other side of the world.

Certainly agree, wonders happen in unexpected places. Exotic locations do not guarantee grand adventures.
