Comment

What you need to know before your trail

Anne’s children were almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Rilla, almost fifteen, can’t think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford.

But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her brothers go off to fight, and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves her changed forever.

Travel Guide

The village of Glen St. Mary, Four Winds, on Prince Edward Island. are both fictional. Ingleside is sadly also fictional but very real in this book!

Ingleside:
“It isn’t too old a house … too old houses are sad. And it isn’t too young … too young houses are crude. It’s just mellow. I love every room in it. Every one has some fault but also some virtue … something that distinguishes it from all the others … gives it a personality.”

—Anne Blythe about Ingleside

Prince Edward Island

Everything is remarkably close by and the spirit of Anne is embedded in the island itself from the soil to the lake of Shining waters and the cherry blossom trees. Sadly the horse and carts have been replaced by cars but they do still exist for the tourists.

Green Gables House

The Lucy Maud Montgomery home is one quarter mile East of Green Gables and is decorated to look like the house as it would have been like in Anne’s day, with her room and the white picket fence exactly as she left it.
