Re the Little House books--I enjoyed the TV series immensely, at least for the first few years. (I'd been a fan of Michael Landon since the Little Joe years on Bonanza.) I didn't attempt to read the Little House books until long afterward, and gave up after the first two, I believe, though I did read a bit about LIW and the books. I was amazed to learn that some of what I thought were dramatic inventions for TV (e.g., Mary going blind) were in the books.
I've never seen any movie or TV adaptation of Anne. I did know that Colleen Dewhurst played Marilla, and as I was reading Anne I tried to hear that voice for Marilla's lines, but couldn't quite do it.
