This episode comes to you from the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, where a large group of people braved a moderate snowstorm to attend the launch of Before Green Gables, the prequel of Anne of Green Gables.
The book launch coincides with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the introduction of Anne Shirley to the world. To mark the occasion, Canada Post has unveiled two new stamps (one for Anne Shirley and one for Prince Edward Island), the Royal Canadian Mint unveiled their new Anne Shirley quarter and Girl Guides of Canada have unveiled a new patch.
This episode of Just One More Book!! includes interviews with author Budge Wilson, editor Helen Reeves, LM granddaughter Kate Macdonald Butler, the Right and Honourable Adrienne Clarkson, LM Montgomery expert Betsy Epperly, publicist Alina Goldstein and the many voices of Anne Shirley enthusiasts.

Thank you for sharing the audio interview. I enjoyed it very much!
OK, Mark and Andrea, this interviews brought tears to my eyes, even before I’ve started to read the book. Which I now can’t wait to read. I especially love how people you interviewed talked about Anne as though she was real. And I loved the little girl who planned to dress as Anne for Halloween. What a wonderful treat!
I enjoyed your podcast program so much!
Thank you for sharing it!
