Anne of Green Gables was filmed in Canada, on Prince Edward Island (less than 5%!!) and in Southern Ontario (much or it at The Westfield Heritage Centre).

The series is comprised of eight books: Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside, Rainbow Valley, and Rilla of Ingleside. It is the first in a series of books about the beloved character, Anne Shirley. From Book to Film Anne of Green Gables was written by Lucy Maud Montgomery in 1908.
