Anne of Avonlea

The story of Anne of Green Gables continues. Thanks to her antics, the excitement will be taken care of! In the second Anne Shirley book, our lovely redhead from Canada's Prince Edward Island accepts a teaching position at an Avonlea school. At the same time, at the age of sixteen, he decides to found a fencing association, come what may. And what wouldn't? All indications are that she's not nearly as crazy as she was as a teenager, however, trouble, embarrassments or, heaven forbid, scandal, find her now and then under the influence of plain speaking, especially when her determined ideals collide with the sleepy reality of small-town overseas, that doesn't like change. Yet this kind-hearted young lady from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries never loses her legendary optimism - let alone the determination that won the hearts of readers around the world! The colourful fate of the Canadian sheepdog is a feast for filmmakers. After the 1975 and 1985 BBC series adaptations, the theme was taken up by overseas filmmakers in 2017-2019. "Anne is a kissable girl: sweet, charming, like sunshine at almost all times. Without it, Canadian young adult literature would be a tundra for a long time to come. If it was born at all." - Toronto Star "The beauty of old-world life in Avonlea will captivate you to the point where you won't want to leave." - San Francisco Chronicle "While the entire series is aimed primarily at the child reader, its charm and inner mission will be appreciated by adults as well." - Book Landing Anne was all aglow. "I'm so glad you said it out loud, Priscilla, that you didn't keep it to yourself. The world would be a much more interesting place - though it's interesting enough as it is! - if people would say out loud what they really think more often." "That'd be a lot of people getting a hard time," Jane pointed out sagely. - excerpt from the text "Today was - as Anne would say - a significant epoch in my life. My book arrived today, brand new straight from the publisher. Honestly, I have to admit that it was a wonderful moment for me, I was proud of myself! In my hands lay the actual tangible realization of my dreams, desires and ambitions. " - confession of the author
