Into the book
“Anne of Green Gables, in the novel I read again as an adult, was a very pitiful and admirable child who overcame the unbearable loneliness on her own with her unique optimism.
It was also amazing to see how much the author Lucy Maud Montgomery loved plants and nature on almost every page.
I was even more moved by the stories that weave warm emotions into flowers and plants. (…) I often felt as if Montgomery’s sentences were reading pictures.”
--- From the "Prologue"

“The meaning that flowers and various plants give to people is greater and more diverse than we think.
We can feel the mystery of life from plants that grow taller every day, live and breathe, and bloom with beautiful colors each season.
These days, I often feel that the way people communicate with plants, care for them with affection, and rely on them wholeheartedly, calling them 'companion plants,' is similar to Anne's way of dealing with nature.
(…) I hope that those who encounter this book will discover the plants breathing nearby, communicate with them, and make their lives a little warmer. I also hope that they will feel the same affection as Anne did toward the plants they encounter as they turn the pages of the book.”
--- From "Epilogue"

As you slowly turn the pages, you might find yourself lovingly resting your cheek against the slender, white birch trunk and exclaiming, "Beautiful world, I'm so glad I'm in your midst!"
