It was a bit of a surprise to discover that so many Japanese read Anne of Green Gables and other books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Prince Edward Island, where most of Lucy's novels were centered is visited by thousands of Japanese tourists each year and some couples even go there to marry.
I've been teaching conversational English to Japanese students using Skype and web pages for some time and I am now starting to teach using material related to Anne, Lucy Maud, Prince Edward Island and my own province of Saskatchewan where Lucy lived and wrote for a while.
I hadn't taken much notice of this novel before but now I've become hooked myself. Have many of you taken it in school?
