Productions adapting Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel, Anne of Green Gables, for the screen have spanned decades and encompassed various formats. These adaptations, ranging from silent films to modern streaming releases, offer interpretations of the beloved story of a spirited orphan and her experiences in Avonlea.
The widespread appeal of these visual narratives lies in their ability to bring a classic piece of literature to new audiences and to offer diverse perspectives on themes of belonging, identity, and community. These productions often contribute to the preservation and reinvigoration of interest in the source material, impacting tourism and cultural engagement with Prince Edward Island, the setting of the story.
