Elizabeth Vargas on Anne of Green Gables

I love finding fans of Anne of Green Gables. My most recent discovery is that Elizabeth Vargas, the American television journalist and anchor and correspondent for ABC News, is a fan of Anne.

In an interview with SheKnows, Joel Amos asked Elizabeth Vargas, "What were some of those books that were so wonderful for you that when they ended you cried?"

Elizabeth Vargas mentions several books, including the Winds of War, War and Remembrance, and Charlotte’s Web, that deeply moved her. She also mentioned Anne saying, "I loved the Anne of Green Gables series. That was just as a girl, I loved those books. It’s a trilogy. When I read the last one, I was devastated that were no more coming up."

I really hope Elizabeth Vargas finds out that there are eight Anne of Green Gables novels and has a chance to enjoy them all.
