Anne

Ana la de los Álamos Ventosos

El anterior libro fue tan bueno que este tuvo sus altibajos, es refrescante el formato de escritura de las cartas de Ana a Gilbert, pero que no se vean o tengan casi nada de interacción me decepciono. El personaje de Elizabeth es precioso y la amistad con Katherine me sorprendió. Disfrute el libro.

Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables Novels)

Full (mini) review now posted!

I have a soft spot for epistolary novels. I love getting someone’s innermost thoughts in their own words. This book was a hybrid, half epistolary and half regular novel. But it’s all Anne Shirley in all of her glory, enjoying a new home and profession and conglomeration of interesting neighbors. If I had to choose one word to describe this novel, that would would be shenanigans. Seriously, Anne gets into so many uncomfortable, hilarious situations, and witnesses her neighbors getting into even more. While there were a couple of sadder scenes, for the most part this novel is light and fluffy and undoubtedly funny. While not always viewed as a legitimate installment of the Green Gables series (some Kindle collections provide only six installments instead of eight), I think this installment is worthy of its place in the series, and shouldn’t be missed.

The fourth book in the Anne Shirley series. 'Gilbert, I'm afraid I'm scandalously in love with you' Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe are at last engaged, but still they are apart: for three years Gilbert will be away at medical school, while Anne has a new job as principal of Summerside High School. Absence couldn't make their hearts any fonder, though, and they share all their love and news in letters. At Summerside, Anne settles in happily, lodging at Windy Willows, home of two widows - Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty - and their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. With firm friends like these beside her, she can face anyone - even the Pringles, the 'Royal Family' of Summerside, who waste no time in snubbing Anne and letting her know that she wasn't their choice for principal. Can Anne ever hope to win them over? This collection of the best in children's literature, curated by Virago, will be coveted by children and adults alike. These are timeless tales with beautiful covers, that will be treasured and shared across the generations. Some titles you will already know; some will be new to you, but there are stories for everyone to love, whatever your age.

Classic Anne humor, but overall a throwaway story.

I enjoy some of the stories in this segment but a lot of it feels like filler and not actually things that influence Anne's life--just other people's lives she observes, and we only sometimes get to hear her thoughts on them if the story is being told through one of her letters. A lot of the characters feel like repeat of characters from her other Anne books and I began to wonder if LM has more than ten archetypes in her repertoire. There were too many whiney/vale-of-tears characters; Nora absolutely drove me bonkers, I could not believe Anne had nothing to say to her like "you need a good spanking" as she has said to other stupid characters. 

Despite all that, however, I still love the writing and some of the characters, like Rebecca Dew and Katherine Brooke, will live on forever in my memories.

Anne brings light to everyone who comes into her path- including the reader!

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College and Green Gables behind to begin a new chapter of her life in the "dreaming town" of Summerside. She's soon facing an unexpected challenge, however, in the form of the Pringles--also known as the royal family of Summerside. They quickly let Anne know that she's not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into her cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she also has great allies in two elderly widows, Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty, and their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. Slowly, she begins to unravel Summerside's strangest secrets--revealing everything in letters to Gilbert, who's away at medical school. And in the end, Anne's able to win the support of even the prickly Pringles, in what is only the first of many delicious triumphs.

I think I'm done with this series, Anne if Green Gables is wonderful classic but the sequel books just aren't doing it for me. Anne feels like she has lost her Anne-ness with maturity and whilst the writing is still lovely and I can not praise Montgomery enough for her craft, this is no longer for me.

Follow the life of Anne of Green Gables in this complete eight book collection by L M Montgomery; a timeless children's classic.

Justine Rose

This was by far my least favourite addition to the series so far. There was truly little point to this book, and Anne already felt less joyful to read from. Why certain little stories were included (the chapter about Cousin Ernestine remains the most tiresome section from this book) I’ll never know. I did enjoy the last 50 or so pages again, but the middle of the book truly dragged, especially because the main plot had wrapped up already. Here’s to hoping the next book picks up!

Another lovely Anne book. So funny, sweet, full of real life stories. I adore how some of the characters perfectly - and in an annoying way, represent the real people. SO WELL. You actually can believe they are real.
I miss some of the aspects of previous stories, it´s not as precious as the first two books in the series, it´s definitely more grown up now and Anne is no way a child she used to be, it´s hard to get used to it - and bittersweet too, accepting she is not "forever child" book heroine.
Sadly it´s not really about Green Gables anymore and I missed it SO much even though the new setting was nice, it was kind of flat, not as beautiful as Avonlea. And I also missed some of her friends that were not really present here. But still a heartwarming story you have to love.

Through letters, Anne tells Gilbert Blythe about her new job as principal at Summerside High and her dealings with the town's leading family, the Pringles.

I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I really missed all the main characters from Avonlea in this one.

Anne of Windy Poplars' is the fourth book in the ‘Anne of Green Gables’ series. In this novel, 22-year-old Anne has left college to serve as principal of Summerside High School and settles down in Windy Poplars. Anne has to overcome opposition to her presence from an influential family, the Pringles. The Pringles family make it well known she was not what they had hoped for in their new Prinicipal. She also finds new friends in Aunt Kate, Aunty Chatty and Rebecca Dew. This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1936 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.
