Anne is now a mother of five, soon to be six. This book chronicles a few years of the Blythe family’s life, from Aunt Mary Maria’s visit that goes on, and on, and on, through the many escapades of the usually well-meaning children.

This book doesn’t really have a definite on-going plot. Each of the children have their own little “adventures” of various sorts, and Anne herself is not very predominant until the very end, which does happen rather abruptly. I didn’t find it to be a highlight in the series, but it is worth reading if you have enjoyed the other Anne books.

The Meredith family has come to live at St. Glen’s Point, but as Mrs. Meredith died long ago, and Mr. Meredith is busy with his duty as the new minister, the Meredith children, Jerry, Una, Faith, and Carl have to look after themselves. As a result, they’re almost always getting into trouble, although half the time it’s more of an accident than anything else. They do their best to raise themselves (even forming a Good Conduct club), but most people think things would be better for everyone if Mr. Meredith were to marry again…

The seventh in the Anne of Green Gables series, Rainbow Valley focuses more on the Merediths, than the Ingleside children. The many escapades of the Meredith children can be quite funny, along with the part where a young couple comes to the manse to be married, and Mr. Meredith, who can be rather absent-minded at times, begins the ceremony and gets to “Ashes to ashes and dust to dust,” before he vaguely realizes that he’s performing a funeral, not a wedding.

Anne is now sixteen and is a school ma’am at the Avonlea School. But that’s not all. The Keith twins, consisting of the almost too perfect Dora and very mischievous Davy, have come to stay, and Anne finds another kindred spirit by the name of Miss Lavender.

A pretty good book. Davy is often “I want to know”ing and you may find some parts enjoyable. There’s a rather humorous part when Anne gets stuck in a roof.

While waiting for Gilbert Blythe to finish school, Anne moves to Summerside, where she takes a job as principal of the high school. She boards with Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty (they aren’t her aunts), and their housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. However, the Pringles, who control Summerside, don’t want Anne to be the principal, and make sure she knows it. Of course, Anne being who she is, she tries to get over the barrier.

Anne is just as Anne-ish as she is in the first three books. You’ll laugh through this. And L. M. Montgomery loves to make fun of love letters. (You’ll know what I’m talking about once you read it.)

You can also buy Anne of Windy Poplars from Amazon in the United Kingdom and Canada.
