I recently stumbled upon an article discussing a new cover design for the beloved Anne of Green Gables series. As someone who devoured these books as a young girl and still tunes in to the PBS adaptation during telethon time, I found myself taken aback. This is Anne we’re talking about! The spirited, red-haired, messy-tomboy Anne!
What is Happening in the Publishing World?
It’s well known that sex sells—an unfortunate reality—but the truth remains that Anne of Green Gables is far more enriching than the vampire romances currently dominating the shelves for tweens and teens. Perhaps the publishers have a clever strategy after all.
Imagine a twelve-year-old picking up that book, expecting to dive into the life of a sultry Dutch blonde and her scandalous adventures. As they flip through the pages searching for the steamy scenes, they might—gasp!—actually start appreciating the story. They could discover a true literary gem, rather than a work they feel obligated to read. Stranger things have certainly happened, like poorly written soft-core novels climbing the bestseller lists!
Could Other Classics Benefit from a Makeover?
This got me thinking: perhaps a few other classics could benefit from a makeover to make them more appealing to today’s youth.
Alright, maybe that’s not the best idea after all.
