The Diary of Gilbert Blythe - Volume I: 12 to 19 Years Old is a book by Brazilian author L. David that is based on L.M. Montgomery's Anne novels. But rather than following Anne Shirley's perspective, L. David's story imagines Gilbert Blythe's childhood and adolescence. The Diary of Gilbert Blythe currently includes three volumes that follow Gilbert's life from age 12 to 25. Originally written in Portuguese, the first volume has been translated to English by Anna França and was published in September 2024 by Babelcube Inc.
The second volume of the story, based on Anne of Avonlea, is currently being translated to English by Sarah Ferreira. The third volume, based on Anne of the Island, is available for translation on Babelcube.
Here is the description of the book:
The Diary of Gilbert Blythe imagines what the childhood and adolescence of the male protagonist from Anne of Green Gables could have been like. Closely following L.M. Montgomery's original plot, the Diary is a faithful retelling of the famous story — but now through Gilbert's point of view, delving into his family, friends, inspirations, dreams, and insecurities, and, of course, the development and growth of Gilbert's feelings for the lovable little redhead, Anne.
