What a coincidence that I have just started to read this story! I love the stamps, of course.

My stamp is here.

If this is your first introduction to Anne Shirley, then I am excited for you!

Not the first, but the first time I'm reading the real book (not an adaptation) in English.

I love the two portraits although of course the Canadian one is how I imagine her.
My children are here

I've never read the book but after this post and the comments, seems I shall be adding it on my to-read list :)

Love both stamps, though slightly more the Japanese one (sorry) - I just have a soft spot for Japanese cartoons, where every character has such prominent eyes :)
