    Anne the Sequel ('87) with Diane Neu

    We're back with our second L.M. Montgomery episode, where we cover Anne Shirley's continuing story into adulthood. Diane Neu's love for Gilbert Blythe made her the perfect guest for this discussion. We weren't always happy with the choices the adaptation made, but we also recognize that this series has special significance for those who grew up watching it. As Diane said in this episode, maybe it's time for someone to finally adapt Anne of the Island in all its glory.

    Anne of Green Gables

    Anne of Green Gables is one of the most popular children's books, and everyone who has read it has something to say about the red-headed orphan; the Modern Life podcast is no exception. We have all the heart eyes for the beautiful scenery, and of course, Gilbert Blythe. We dive into the trivia of the 1985 series, like how Megan Follows got the much coveted main role. And who knew there was a German cut of this adaptation?
