Anne of Ingleside - L.M. Montgomery - Bookniverse

Anne of Ingleside is a heartwarming story about family, love, and growing up. Living at a beautiful house called Ingleside, Anne Blythe has her hands full raising six lively, highly dramatic children. From dreamy, sensitive Walter, to mischievous Jem, gentle Nan and Di, and carefree little Rilla, each child brings their own joys, quarrels, and small triumphs into Anne's days. Yet, Anne sometimes wonders if the imaginative girl she once was has quietly slipped away. Through unexpected visits from old friends, Anne rediscovers the magic that first made her extraordinary.****************************The mind behind this story was Lucy Maud Montgomery, born in Canada in 1874. Raised by her strict grandparents in a rural community, Montgomery spent a lonely childhood finding comfort in the island's stunning natural landscapes, her own vivid imagination, and the private world of her poetry and journals. Like her famous heroine, Montgomery later became a wife and mother herself, drawing on her own domestic experiences to lend warmth, humour, and authenticity to Anne's world. First published in 1939, Anne of Ingleside was one of the final instalments in the beloved Anne series.
