Anne’s family grows ever larger—and ever more joyful—in this artfully packaged edition of the fifth book in the Anne of Green Gables series.It’s been fifteen years since Anne Shirley married Gilbert Blythe, and they are still blissfully happy, delighting in their six children: Jem, Walter, Nan, Di, Shirley, and Rilla. After a holiday in Europe, Anne returns to find that a new minister has arrived in Glen St. Mary. John Meredith is a widower with four young children: Jerry, Faith, Una, and Carl. The children have not been properly brought up since the death of their mother, with only their absent-minded father and their old and partially deaf Aunt Martha to take care of them. Anne instantly takes them under her wing, and they become best friends with her children. The group goes on many adventures together, but always has the best time in their favorite spot: Rainbow Valley. This addition to the renowned Anne of Green Gables series makes a wonderful gift and keepsake.

I'm not a fan of Anne, but this was rather enjoyable.
I remember reading Rainbow Valley when I was a kid and enjoying it, but not loving it. I still have that same issue today. This is technically the 7th book in the Anne of Green Gables series. However, it was the fifth book published. L.M. Montgomery went back later and wrote Anne of Windy Poplars an...
