The Star goes on to mention that "Anne of Green Gables", by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was one of Kate's favourite books growing up, and so she wants to visit the various locations that inspired the text.
It's really neat to think that Kate grew up reading and loving the same book that most Canadian girls grow up reading too! It's also interesting to think about her reading an arguably canonical piece of Canadian fiction across the pond in England, when here as children we were immersed in British fiction. It's pleasently surprising to know that people outside of Canada are interested in our country. Usually it's us looking out at the rest of the world and admiring their achievements and contributions to, in this case, the literary world.
