![]() The books are once again transcribed to screenplay format for this mini series, and though I've never read the books I must say I'm very impressed with the production. The stories are personal reflections of author Lucy Maud Montgomery, set around Prince Rupert Island, and placed in a 3rd person narrative for her series of books. There's a touch of melodrama in all their performances, but this aspect reflects accurately I think the behavioral norms for the period. The costuming and overall art direction is first class in both this production and it's followup "Anne of Avonlea." The acting is very rich and natural from all the female leads, though somewhat dry from the younger males. The cinematography is very intimate, and does a fine job of showing some very picturesque coastal and rural scenery. I was highly impressed with this production when I first saw it over ten years ago.
