I came to this second installment in the Anne of Green Gables series with no clear memory of having read it as a child, although I'm fairly sure that I did. This means that I lack the strong emotional attachment to the book and to the series as a whole which I know is felt by many readers. When I re...
While not nearly as enchanting as the first installment, this is still a worthwhile read. Anne is not quite as young and talkative, but she still is a dreamer and finds friendship with others who share her love of poetry over reality.

I like this book just as much as Anne of Green Gables. The ending was far happier than the previous. I nearly cried at the happenings from sheer joy! I also adored the wonderful imaginings of Paul Irving and Miss Lavendar shared with Anne.
