Anne of Green Gables Collection, Book 3

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?

Gilbert Blythe and Anne Shirley Cuthbert marry and move to into their new house-“Anne’s House of Dreams,” as they lovingly name it. The first glimpse of Anne’s new home was a delight to the eye and spirit-it looked like a big, creamy seashell stranded on the harbour shore.

Anne was delighted to be the third bride occupying this delightful house, as they enjoy their bliss as a newlywed couple.
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?

Anne of Green Gables collection, Book 1 

This is the story of a talkative and imaginative eleven-year-old orphan, Anne-spelled with an ‘e,’ as she stresses to new acquaintances. Elderly siblings Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert change ‘wrong to right’ when they accept Anne instead of the boy they requested, a choice worth making, as Anne brightens up life at Green Gables with her endless stories and misadventures.

Her imagination creates a world of fantasy around the lakes, woodlands, valleys, and the countryside. Her ability to get into scrapes, make mistakes, and her fiery temper keeps Marilla on her toes. However, Anne sweetly consoles Marilla that she never repeats a mistake. Anne’s endearing spirit makes her win Diana Barry as her bosom friend.

Will Anne and her rival Gilbert Blythe, ever be friends? Who will win the Avery scholarship?

Anne of Green Gables Collection, Book 8

Anne Blythe’s youngest high-spirited daughter, 15-year-old Rilla, captures in her diary, the poignant story of how WWI affected the lives of the people of Glen St Mary, Canada. The premonition of Walter, Rilla’s brother-of the Piped Piper coming down the rainbow valley with a shadowy host behind him, came true, when news of the war was announced. Soon, every able-bodied man-young and old volunteered. How many would return?

“Walter died for Canada-I must live for her. That is what he asked me to do.” Rilla wrote in her diary.

Will Rilla keep her promise not to kiss another man until Kenneth Ford returns from war? How long and why did Dog Monday wait at Glen railway station,
refusing to return to Ingleside? Whose dirge was he howling?
