Rainbow Valley - Paperback

by L. M. Montgomery (Author)

Now happily married with six children, Anne and Gilbert's family continues to thrive in the charming community of Glen St. Mary in this seventh instalment of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series.

15 years after Anne Shirley's wedding to Gilbert Blythe, the story shifts focus to the arrival of the new minister. John Meredith is a widower who moves to Glen St. Mary with his four wild and mischievous children, who quickly form a close bond with Anne's youngsters. Together they embark on numerous adventures in the idyllic Rainbow Valley hollow.

In an attempt to help the Meredith children become more obedient and rule-abiding, the Blythe children create a 'Good-Conduct Club'. However, the well-intentioned club leads to unintended consequences, as the Meredith children impose harsh punishments on themselves for their misdeeds, causing scandal and almost fatal outcomes within the community.

Originally published in 1919, Rainbow Valley is a delightful exploration of childhood innocence, friendship, and the challenges of growing up. This edition is republished with a brand-new introductory biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery.
