Won't make the Japanese happy, either. They flock to PEI to worship at the shrine of "Red Anne". |

I cant believe no one cares about this very upsetting development. Anne's hair colour and freckles and slender frame are very much integral to the plot of the novel. Changing any one of them makes the cover art unrelated to the book. |

How dare they mess with Anne!!!! There's quite a variety of pictures of Anne in Kobo's listing of the books: http://www.kobobooks.com/search/search.html?q=%22Anne+of+Green+Gables%22&t=&f=keyword&p=1&s=&g=both&l= |

Obviously the person who decided on the cover picture has not read the book. |

One article I read suggests it has something to do with copyright. Whereas the books are now in the public domain, The persona of Anne is owned jointly by PEI and some other agency; thus,using a totally different picture is legal, whereas using Anne as we know her would not be. nainai |

I care about it. aweful to change Anne into "a sex-pot" Certainly goes against all Canadian morals. I do not know why it is that some think only "sex" sells. :sigh: But of course we are bombarded with that all the time. |
