She grew up in nearby Cavendish, surrounded by rolling farmlands and the sparkling waters of the ocean. Anne of Green Gables is based on her own childhood experiences.

Now sixteen, Anne is grown up – sort of. The second novel in L. M. Montgomery’s classic series follows Avonlea’s red-headed darling as she begins her new job as a schoolteacher, and becomes curious about the strange yet handsome Gilbert Blythe. As she enters adulthood, she does so with humour and a sense of adventure.

In the fourth book of the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne Shirley begins a new career and faces a new challenge: the “royal family” of Summerside, the Pringles. Apparently she’s not their preferred choice as principal of Summerside High. But she quickly finds friends at Windy Poplars and learns the secrets of her new-found home, triumphing as always.
