Anyone can take a shot at writing a children’s story, but to be able to show life from a child’s point of view is aspirational. Green Gables is largely autobiographical, and that may well be the reason for its raging success. As the author masterfully weaves into the story, “ All great things are wound up with all little things.” Green Gables is full of morals not only for children but for adults, too. They are taught good values and manners, but when they offer some valuable insight, it is not only accepted but appreciated. You may be more comfortable with the idea that books like Green Gables project a world where children are not patronized. If you don’t subscribe to the above, that’s okay. Classics like Anne of Green Gables provide a safe environment to explore drastically different lives lived by those the likes of whom we may never come across. They offer a safe, fictional space where children meet characters who appear to be a lot like them but have experiences unimaginable to them. We try to protect children from all sorts of uncomfortable emotions nowadays, and I have to say I admire the classics for not doing that.

They present real fears, disappointments, humiliations, and regret. I think of classics as the books that present life as real as it was at the time.
