I have read this book over the course of two years, every time I come home to visit my family.
It is always a joy to enter the world of Anne, and now her children, to follow their adventures.

This was a thrift find and I am glad for that 'cause it is not really an "Anne" book at all, as I now understand from reading reviews. Many props to those who persevered long enough to even know what the story was about. I couldn't get past the first little chapter with Susan, the Blythe's maid, calling Anne "Mrs. Dr. Dear."
I remember now why I always said the early Megan Follows movies are all one really needs. I enjoyed the first two books well enough, but after that the books introduce too many horrible children and the movies give us too much realism.
I could keep the volumn for my "little book" collection, but the funnest thing about this thrift find was seeing it has a price sticker from the store I worked at until yesterday. I;m pretty sure the remainder of the series is still on the shelf, and I suppose I'll take this in (don't even need the trade credit!) It's a pretty little copy and with a gentle spine-cleaning it could still serve well as part of a "look at," set.

This book was clearly meant to be read before Anne of Ingleside. It introduces her children much more thoroughly and memorably. It also has a more similar atmosphere and feeling to the adjacent books than Ingleside does, which makes sense considering that Montgomery wrote that book twenty years later.
I did greatly enjoy this book, but it took longer to get started than most, and it will probably my second to least favorite of the series, just above Ingleside. They are both still good books, but I love the others much more. Montgomery's writing is so lively and imaginative. Her books instill a sense of adventure and the joy of living life, which I thoroughly adore.

This book feels like the auth9r wanted out of her publishing contract.
There's a lot of small town gossip.
Just not fun or charming like the Anne books.
