Rainbow Valley: 7 (Anne of Green Gables)

Rainbow Valley is the seventh book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Anne Shirley has now been married to Gilbert Blythe for 15 years and the couple have six children. The new minister has arrived in Glen St. Mary along with his four children. The children cause mischief and scandal amongst the townsfolk. Only the Blythes know of their loyalty and kindness and help them to see the error in their ways. This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1919 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.
