Anne of Avonlea


Advanced Search
At sixteen Anne is grown up. . . almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

Anniest of Annes!!!

Hi everyone, I'm a L.M.Montegomery fan, I just love her Annie series, when I first read Annie of green gables I was 12 and when I finished the book I almost cried and then When I was returning the book to my librarian I found Annie of avonlea, It was amazing , and then I again read Avonlae when I was 15 , I read house of dreams her other books . What I love so much about these books is how much Annie is like me, It was beautiful to know a person like yourself,When my sister read those books she said that it was like reading a book written about me, she said she already knew all the things Annie did, I used to name the pine trees on my way home and I'd love to Imagine, having friends like Diana, My hair was a bad shade of reddish brown but after reading Annie I'd believe It would be Auburn some day, its really dark now though....I'd often think what if L.M.Montegomery would meet me one day, I wished I could write to her...Me and my sister actually have a Kindred spirits list and we keep adding people to it(hard to find them though). But then my life is far from Annies beautiful life, Never met my Gilbert, had to leave my beautiful homeland , no pine trees or snow or spring, These days I feel more like Hester Grey(many of you might remember her) But I never give up on my dreams and I write , Its like having your dreams in some form or the other... I don't know what else to say....

Inspiration

Hello,

I have read the book, Anne Of Green Gables over and over about a million times. It is my absolute favourite. Funny, touching, inspiring, heartbreaking, so many adjectives can be used to describe it, and yet none can do it justice. I thouroughly admire the author's style and flair for having developed such a thouroughly enjoyable story. Ever since when, I have been trying to get myself a copy of the oldest edition in hardcover print. But, living in Belize, that is almost impossible. I would be grateful if someone could just e-mail me with some information on how to order a copy of the complete Anne story, video, and whatever else Anne has to offer. Highest praise to L.M. Montgomery, and may the spirit of Anne continue to reign throughout the century.

Sincerely, M. B.

Just reading what wonderful thing she has to say about the world she lives in and how we are lucky that good has given us so many bright things just makes me want to read more and more. It is so exciting to see what crazy thing will happen next. This series should be read by all young and old. It is truely inspiring!

Lucy Maud Montgomery

What can be said about Ms. Montgomery that hasn't already been said? But I will add what I can which is that reading her own life story as told in her personal journals gives me a greater understanding of Anne, of all of L.M. Montgomery's characters. Ms. Montgomery, or "Maud" was a sensitive, intelligent woman, a young girl who loved life and nature and the world around her as much as Anne. Tragedy and loss and loneliness that came to Ms. Montgomery in later life makes her world seem a little removed from Anne yet this enabled her to create characters such as Leslie Moore, Valancy, and even Rilla whose "soul growth" after her own sufferings makes me wonder if Ms. Montgomery did not have her own "soul growth" to inspire her. Ms. Montgomery should be remembered for her own beautiful spirit as well as the spirit of our ever beloved Anne.
