"Anne of the Island" is the chronicle of the doings of Anne and her friends during four years spent at Redmond, pleasant adventures of the sort which might happen to any likable young people in a small co-educational college. Anne herself, now a beautiful, clever, and charming young woman, has manyadmirers. Among them is the faithful Gilbert Blythe, her childhood friend who is also a student at Redmond, and eventually Anne discovers that her heart has always been his. In the intervening vacations, the scene shifts from Kingsport, Nova Scotia, the seat of Redmond, back to the Island, Prince Edward Island where the author's pen and heart are so much at home. Here are the old school friends of former books, the gossipy old ladies, and a pair of twins whose liveliness suggests early Green Gable days.
