A friend was discussing books and mentioned this one. It is a mash up of Anne of Green Gables, a children’s novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, and The House of the Seven Gables, a novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Gables created the garble. A shout out to Martin Pietrucha for uttering this one and then man enough to send it in.
