+2 It sums up my take on the book well.
I don’t believe every one thought Anne was wonderful. I don’t think Anne thought she was wonderful herself. That’s why she is constantly striving to improve her faults. She’s banned by Diana’s mom from seeing Diana after the cordial incident, and the nosy neighbor Rachel didn’t like initially. I also don’t think she’s manipulative. I think she has a way of growing in other people’s hearts to change them, and I think her outlook on life can be infectious to those around her. |

Especially: "I think her outlook on life can be infectious to those around her." Think of Mathew who was dour except with Anne. |

I remember you mentioned this book before, and I have meant to read it based on your recommendation. I grew up in the Midwestern Plains along the Mississippi so Little House (and even more so Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn mentioned earlier in this thread) has a regional identity to me similar to Anne for Canadians.

I ran across the following at Amazon currently on sale for $1.99 and thought it might be of interest:
