Anne of Green Gables has gotten an unexpected makeover.
And she’s now blonde.
The beloved literary character, typically portrayed as a young redhead with freckles, has been transformed on the cover of a new edition of the Lucy Maud Montgomery classic. She is now a busty blonde propped up against a bail of hay.
Her transformation has not gone unnoticed.
Disapproval of the young girl from Prince Edward Island’s drastic change was voiced by many on Twitter.
“That ‘Anne of Green Gables’ cover has really irked me,” tweeted @AlysinWonderland. “So unnecessary. And inaccurate.”

What did they do, rewrite it all?

Or just fail to read it altogether?

Soon to be embroiled in Twitter feuds with her rivals and succumbing to a teen love triangle, no doubt. Hey maybe they'll televise it and it'll be on the CW come fall?

Terrible marketing.

Terrible marketing.

It is. That's not the personality portrayal that made Ann of Green Gables accessible and identifiable to girls everywhere.
