Psst! Carrots!
I rediscovered this morning a list that I made a little over a year ago for my own use. It occurred to me, upon rereading it, that others might be interested. It is equally likely, however, that you will all just laugh at me. So, at risk of great personal embarrassment, I bring you:
The List of Gilbert Blythe Appearances in the First Two Anne of Green Gables Movies (Because the Third One Is an Abomination) Complete With DVD Chapter Number and Approximate Time of Appearance
(This is particularly useful in Anne of Avonlea (aka Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel), which has a lot of boring non-Gilbert stuff in it.)
