In 1942, 75 years ago today, Lucy Maud Montgomery, best known as the author of the famous Anne of Green Gables series, died. For this anniversary, CBC Books has compiled a list of "75 facts you might not know about her life, death and enduring legacy": http://www.cbc.ca/books/2017/04/75-facts-lucy-maud-montgomery.html.
A reddit user has put together a literary map of the world; each book represented in the map is marked by that country’s "most famous or important novel." Canada's book is Anne of Green Gables: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/articles/this-literature-map-of-the-world-shows-you-every-countrys-favourite-book/.
There are 8 books in the Anne series:
Anne of Green Gables
Anne of Avonlea
Anne of the Island
Anne of Windy Poplars
Anne's House of Dreams
Anne of Ingleside
Rainbow Valley
Rilla of Ingleside.
If you haven't read the Emily trilogy (Emily of New Moon, Emily Climbs, and Emily's Quest), I would recommend it as well.
