Description
With a beautiful new cover by celebrated illustrator Briana Corr Scott, Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic third and fourth books in the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne of the Island and Anne of Windy Poplars, are available together as the second book in a series of gorgeous new bind-up editions.
In the third installment of the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne Shirley heads for Redmond College, leaving behind her rural life in Avonlea for the city of Kingsport. There she must deal with an unfortunate marriage proposal, the beginning of her writing career, and the sudden attention of Gilbert Blythe. Is Anne ready for true love?
In the fourth book, Anne 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.
