![]() ![]() The two later-written books are much weaker – if you’re reading the eight books in order of Anne’s life, it’s easy to get discouraged mid-series. Unusually for a book series, Montgomery returned to Anne in her later years and filled in some gaps in her chronology. The series chronicles her life from her adoption at age 11, around the mid-1870s, through until the end of the First World War, when Anne is in her early fifties. The series chronicles the adventures of Prince Edward Island orphan Anne Shirley, accidentally adopted by a pair of aging siblings. The appreciation of the Anne books has passed down the generations – I’m now reading them to my pre-teen daughter. She had an entire display cabinet filled with Montgomery’s work, and made the pilgrimage from the South Island of New Zealand to Canada to visit Prince Edward Island. ![]()
