In June 1908, a red-haired orphan appeared on to the streets of Boston and a modern legend was born. That little girl was Anne Shirley, better known as Anne of Green Gables, and her first appearance was in a book that has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 35 languages (including Braille). The author who created her was Lucy Maud Montgomery, a writer who revealed very little of herself and her method of crafting a story. On the centenary of its publication, Irene Gammel tells the braided story of both Anne and Maud and, in so doing, shows how a literary classic was born. Montgomery's own life began in the rural Cavendish family farmhouse on Prince Edward Island, the place that became the inspiration for Green Gables. Mailmen brought the world to the farmhouse's kitchen door in the form of American mass market periodicals sparking the young Maud's imagination. From the vantage point of her small world, Montgomery pored over these magazines, gleaning bits of information about how to dress, how to behave and how a proper young lady should grow. She began to write, learning how to craft marketable stories from the magazines' popular fiction; at the same time the fashion photos inspired her visual imagination. One photo that especially intrigued her was that of a young woman named Evelyn Nesbit, the model for painters and photographers and lover of Stanford White. That photo was the spark for what became Anne Shirley. Blending biography with cultural history, Looking for Anne of Green Gables is a gold mine for fans of the novels and answers a trunk load of questions: Where did Anne get the "e" at the end of her name? How did Montgomery decide to give her red hair? How did Montgomery's courtship and marriage to Reverend Ewan Macdonald affect the story? Irene Gammel's dual biography of Anne Shirley and the woman who created her will delight the millions who have loved the red haired orphan ever since she took her first step inside the gate of Green Gables farm in Avonlea.

Works well
This stuff is pretty great I bought it for attaching tomato plants to the fence where the stems were too big to fit my smaller clip ties and even in our strong winds none of the ties have come undone so far

Nice product with lots of uses. Strong magnet and great strap
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Used this to replace the Klein magnetic strap on my C-800 multimeter. (This is not easy and takes a lot of manipulation, but if you can get it in the plastic loop on the multimeter up past where the loop in the strap end is sewn, you can use a screwdriver through that to yank it the rest of the way). Once it’s done it’s beautiful! This thing could hold 2 dozen multimeters and it’s MUCH longer without being too long! Otherwise it’s just an awesome strap anyway. It holds a lot of weight (I didn’t test to spec) but definitely enough for what one would expect! I have both sizes, the smaller one is attached to the multimeter and the larger holds a cord to the side of my toolbox. (Tip)- to prevent slipping just put the magnetic base on the other side of the metal by the box tray and let the strap hang over (if attached to a toolbox). It adds to the weight it can hold too. (Just physics). That will work on anything vertical and thin enough to get around with enough slack to still use the strap. 👍. Would definitely buy another

An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Following the compromised operation in Prague, I was tasked with organizing equipment for the embassy annex in Vienna. The VELCRO Brand Magnetic Straps provided an essential solution for securing various tools and equipment to metal surfaces, facilitating quick access during critical moments. The durability of the strap, combined with an impressively strong magnet, ensured that our gear remained in place despite variable operational conditions. However, the loop formed by the strap could be larger; it limited our options for certain garden hoses, which became a notable drawback. Overall, the robust quality of the straps enhances logistical efficiency in high-pressure scenarios. Katarina's earlier input on this product proved beneficial, although I detected apprehension in her demeanor while discussing its application. Recommendation: An effective organizing solution for missions involving movable equipment, with minor adjustments needed for cord size.

Sturdy and Reliable
Size: Medium 16in x 1in
Very sturdy and holds up well with regular use. It feels solid and well-made, not flimsy or like it’s going to wear out quickly. Definitely something you can rely on without worrying about it falling apart.
