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.

The closest I've been to an actual African journey.
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
I've always wanted to trek to the high seas and down the Ivory Coast, making my way to South Africa. Alas, I have yet to have the chance. But with Brooklyn Biltong, I felt like I was part of that great adventure. From the moment the package arrived in the mail, I was excited to dive in. The three different colors of the packages was really enticing. Which flavor first - red, yellow, or blue!? I went with the original flavor first (red) to get a real sense of the product. As I opened up the package I was overwhelmed with the smells of air dried goodness, with a hint of coriander. With just enough bite, I went into paleo heaven. As a gym and health nut, this was the perfect treat after I blasted off reps of 350lbs. It gave me the energy I needed to really make my way through the day before hitting the club later than night with my bros. But how can we forget about the other flavors? Jo'burg steakhouse? O.M.G. I legit thought I was hanging with the late great Charlie Palmer nibbling down on some garlicy cow goodness. The Peri Peri BROUGHT. DA. HEAT. I felt like I was on trial with all that SPICE. This is the real deal. You don't need to go to Brooklyn to wear skinny jeans and you don't need to hop on a plane to South Africa to get the whole experience. Worth. Every. Bit. Of. My. Hard. Earned. Cash. DO IT.

So Delicious… but expensive!
Flavor Name: Variety, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 5)
Wow this stuff is delicious! I was prepared to be underwhelmed and I was so pleasantly surprised because it was so good. My favorite is the Peri Peri flavor, but they are all good. The price is so expensive, but since I’m restricting sugar right now, it was a thoughtful healthy splurge. Highly recommend for quality, flavor, and texture. But I might have to start a beef jerky savings fund to be able to afford to order more.

I am so glad this is availbe in the states now.
I first had Mr's Ball's in Southern Africa in 2006 while on Safari in Namibia and Botswana. It was so good I packed quite a few bottles to take home. It goes great with meat, cheese, on sandwiches, just a fantastic flavor. I'm now spoiled and can NOT buy any of the "usual" chutney's available to us in the States. So I keep well stocked now thanks to Amazon.

There so much flavor without it oozing all over the place.
I am so happy I found this chutney. It is perfect consistency to spread on bread to make our chutney sandwiches. The double bottle buy is the way to go. Always have one back up ready to go.
