If you happen to be radio-friendly, I'll be on NPR's Weekend Edition tomorrow morning (about 40 minutes into the first hour of the broadcast) discussing the new Modern Library edition of Anne of Green Gables.
A writer on the high wire of life.
Hey, I heard a snippet promoting that on All Things Considered earlier this evening. Go you! Anne is one of my favorite childhood books.

What a wonderful interview on NPR. Thank you for sharing with the world. Thought you would like to see my review of Before Green Gables as it seems we are kindred spirits.

"As a child, I thought Canada was this beautiful, unspoiled paradise."
And as an adult you think... what?
'cuz, dude, that's what I see out my back door!

Now, now, don't excerpt -- you left out the delightful orphans!

It wasn't me, it was the text from the NPR article.

Clearly, you should have listened to the audio -- what kind of Canadian are you? Don't you love Anne? :p

Well done, Gwenda. I heard your interview Saturday morning and thought you did a great job. I'm glad to see you're a fellow blogger. :)

I think unspoiled paradise is an oxymoron. But then again, I'm a city boy into dashing smut. I got no problem with orphans.
Way to go Gwenda! Nice accent.

Gwenda, I loved hearing you on NPR! You sounded fantastic. I'm a huge, huge, huge Anne fan too...my daughter is a redhead, so I'm already planning our future Anne-themed tea parties. We just have to find someone to play Gilbert...
