When I was about 14, there was a new production of Anne of Green Gables<\/em> shown on TV. One of the newspapers ran a fantastic advertising campaign, with different quotes from the books each day. I cut those quotes out and collected them, plastering my school folders with them.<\/p>\n

“You’d find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair.”<\/p>\n
