For Islanders, the sight of tourists seeking out "Green Gables" in Cavendish is an everyday occurrence. About 10,000 Japanese visit the Island every year, many of them wearing [Anne Shirley]'s straw hat with red pigtails attached. Fifty Japanese couples are married each year in the room where [Lucy Maud Montgomery] made her vows to [Ewan Macdonald]. There are academics in Japan who study Anne and her creator, Web sites there and in Finland, and Japanese fan clubs that send tours to Canada., Source type: magazines; Object type: Article; Copyright: Copyright Rogers Publishing Limited Sep 4, 2000; DOCID: 631841101; PCID: 1222195; PMID: 17549; CODEN: MCNMBC; ProvJournalCode: GMAC; PublisherXID: CBCAMCLE4939183, Source type: Electronic(1), http://search.proquest.com/docview/218474999?accountid=14670
