100th anniversary of Anne of Green Gables

Awwww.  How kind!

Actually my favorite literary herioine ultimately turned out to be Natasha Rostova - it's funny how closely linked the two characters are: AOGG and Natasha...  Staggering story too.  Tracing her footsteps from Moscow to Otradnoe and back was a lot more rigorous and demanding than the leisurely drive through PEI and the other Maritimes. 

If you visit PEI tho', do it in early September so as to take in the leaves. 

Garry these stories made me smile. Thanks. You should have been posting on my literary pilgrimage thread!   

aw, this thread takes me back..I loved Anne of Green Gables. Time for a trip to the library, I think.

Literary pilgrimages in England tend to be linearly flat and one-dimensional: 

Ebeneezer Scrooge left his office and went home.  That's Marylebone High Street.

Fitzwilliam Darcy went down the road that way to speak to Elizabeth and then he went down the road the other way to go home.  That's a dirt road someplace.

Dick Whittington grabbed his cat and went from Bristol to London.  That's the M4.

Dick Turpin left London at midnight one night and rode north.  That's the M1.

Chaucer left Southwark and went to Canterbury.  That's the M2.

And the Pinball Wizard went from Soho down to Brighton.  That's the M23.

Great literary and folklore depth, but not very much in the way of pilgrimage material...

I don't know though...the Wordsworth trek had some hills to it...

Tin is right!  Lol!  Maybe for you southerners, yeah.
