In the many subsequent pictorial renditions of her, Anne's head returns to normal size - sometimes it gets a little too big - and the hair becomes much more prominent. But Anne's original image defects have been corrected over and over in the course of the century. There's a curiously shaped Anne - more like a sort of Mary Poppins puppet than a girl - who turns into a pretty Dresden china figurine by book's end. These are unsettling, as everyone in them has a very small head - Marilla in particular is not only pinheaded but practically bald - leading us to wonder about the degree of inbreeding that was going on around Avonlea. On top of all that, a fresh edition of the first Anne book is available from the New Canadian Library, complete with the original illustrations.

And there's yet another mutton-sleeved, button-booted, Gibson-girl-hairdo'ed television show in the offing - Anne of Green Gables: A New Beginning - due in 2009, following the 1919 silent film, the 1934 talkie, the 1956 television version, the 1979 Japanese animé, the 1985 Green Gables series, the 1990-96 Road to Avonlea and the PBS Animated Series of 2000, not to mention the various parodies - Anne of Green Gut, Fran of the Fundy and its brethren - that have appeared over the years. Already there's a "prequel", Budge Wilson's Before Green Gables, which chronicles the life of spunky, strange, but endearing Anne Shirley before she hit Prince Edward Island's Green Gables farmhouse in a splatter of exclamation marks, apple blossoms, freckles and embarrassing faux pas.
