Anne of Green Gables Challenge, day 9

Happiest moment in the series?

There are so many. The puffed-sleeve dress is a lovely moment, Anne’s first taste of ice cream, going to town… the first book is full of exquisitely described simple pleasures that I think are just as powerful as the things that are more life-changing to an adult Anne.

Anne and Gilbert getting engaged, married, moving to their house o’dreams and starting out as a couple. And the birth of little Jem, a hard-earned happiness that you  can’t grudge them after the sadness of Joyce.
