Anne of Avonlea was my very first Anne book, and it still remains one of my top ten favourites. Not only because it covers more of Anne's journey from childhood to womanhood, but also because of the...

I have always hated the third Anne movie as an interpretation of the last few books, as it has completely gone off on its own little tangent which has nothing to do with the actual storylines. I am...

Oh, I don't know. I think Lorna Doone is a very courageous, selfless young woman who was brought up by a family of murderers and criminals, and had to deal with their constant watch over her and the...

kiki1982, you are certainly decided in your opinons, and while I can't agree with all of them, they were very elequantly expressed. I wouldn't say from my point of view that the graphics, costumes,...

The only other adaptation I've seen is the 1983 miniseries with Zelah Clark and Timothy Dalton, which scared me half to death. But that was probably just because I was around 13-14 years old at the...

I am a HUGH fan of the 2009 movie Bright Star, and I just wanted to start a forum for anybody else who would like to talk about it or ask any questions.

For anybody who hasn't seen or heard about...

Yes, I love Return to Cranford, even more than the original, if that's possible :)
I don't want to give away too much, but a few of the reasons why I like this Christmas Special so much are as...

The reason why I love this book is not only because it's the start of the Anne and Gilbert romance, but also because of the many quirky and interesting characters we are introduced to, and a...

This book is yet another one of my favourite books written by L.M. Montgomery. While still retaining the same quality as Anne of Green Gables and the Emily Trilogy, it has a unique flavour all it's...

As stated above, there are so many great characters in this book it's hard to choose just one. I love Susan for her sarcasm, up-front honesty and sharp wit, Walter for his beautiful spirit and...

I LOVE Rainbow Valley!! True, it does focus more on the Blythe and Meredith children, but I find it refreshingly innocent and new.
Even though it's the kids and their adventures which drive the...

This book has some of my favourite stories written by L.M. Montgomery.
I cannot decide which one is my absolute favourite, but I especially admire Aunt Olivia's Beau, Quarantine Alexander...

I too, love this book. My favourite stories are far and away The Materializing of Cecil, Her Father's Daughter and Sara's Way. The Dream-Child kind of creeps me out, and Tannis of the Flats is VERY...

It is really hard to choose which cousin is my favourite as they all have individual quirks and charactaristics which makes them so fun to get to know. I love Jamie because he is the typical little...

Even though I'll always love Eight Cousins or the Aunt-Hill best, Rose in Bloom is the perfect ending to this story. I love Rose's transition from young girl to young woman, and how her relationship...

Twice by Christina Rossetti

I took my heart in my hand
(O my love, O my love),
I said: Let me fall or stand,
Let me live or die,
But this once hear me speak-
(O my love, O my love)- ...

While Elizabeth Barrett Browning was an accomplished writer and poet in her own right before she met Robert Browning, it was this series of sonnets that she composed during their secret and...

I know this answer is vastly overdo, but as I have a personal interest in the subject, I just thought I might put my thoughts down.

There are many similarities and differences between the two most...

I thoroughly enjoyed kiki1982 and prendrelemick's comments on the way the character of Frank Churchill was portrayed in Sandy Welch's version of Emma, and how that reflects on her ability to properly...

I have been a major fan of Sue Birtwistle, Heidi Thomas and Susie Conklin's Cranford Miniseries for quite awhile, and since there wasn't anything about it on this forum yet, I thought I would do the...

I need to say straight up, that I have never read the book, and so this review will be based souly on the miniseries and my thoughts on it.

I have to admit, when I first watched it, the characters...

What can I possibly hope to say on this subject that hasn't been said before? While I've never seen the 2005 version, and am hopelessly in love with the 1995 BBC one, I can honestly say that there...

While I do not know much about Aristotle or Petrarch, I am a great admirer of Shakespeare's extraordinary ability to expose the basic and complex elements of human nature, such as greed, jealousy,...
