Fifty Shades of Green Gables

Gentle readers will be aware that a most ridiculous book cover has been making the rounds on teh internets, as they're called. 

I've refrained from writing about the complete foolishness that is the new, public-domain edition of L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series because the cover, with its bleached blonde, twenty-first century Elly Mae Clampitt-meets Playboy centerfold while making hay in plaid is so absurd that it defies commentary.

This P. E. Islander will take her green in less that fifty shades--the natural greens complementing the iconic green gables and shutters of Anne's house will more than satisfy.
