Anne Shirley Cuthbert’s dream to go to Redmond finally comes true-she, with Gilbert Blythe, Charlie Sloane, and Priscilla Grant join Redmond. Diana Barry was unhappy to see Anne go, but she had Fred-would they marry soon?

Redmond brought many surprises for Anne-new friends- Philippa Gordon, Roy Gardner, and Christine Stuart. What role would they play in Anne’s life? What was the surprise that changes everything for Anne, just when she thought she would need to stop studying at Redmond?

Many a millionaire had eyed ‘Patty’s Place‘ on Spofford Avenue, the finest residential street in Kingsport. What connect would Anne and her friends have with this quaint cottage?

Windy Poplars takes on a charm of its own, when Anne Shirley boards with two widows, Aunt Kate, and Aunt Chatty, with Rebecca Dew as the caretaker-cum-cook, during her three-year term as principal in the village school. She captures her experiences with the residents of Summerside through letters to Gilbert, at Redmond Medical College, Kingsport.

The Pringles make Anne’s life as a principal difficult, as she encounters problems and hostility both at school and in the neighbourhood. As is typical of Anne, she gets involved in the residents’ lives, changes it for the better and fixes alliances, which otherwise would be dangling in mid-air- Little Elizabeth, Katherine, Terry, and Dovie.

Will Anne finally win over the Pringles?

She was the perfect wife and homemaker and soon converted the little white house into a home–the home to many a beautiful friendship-Captain Jim, Cornelia Bryant, Leslie Moore, and Owen Ford-became a vital part of this house of dreams.

What dreams would this house fulfil or not fulfil for them and their friends?
