- Anne of Green Gables
- The Series of Books
After Anne of Green Gables (1908), Montgomery continued the
story of Anne in a series of sequels, beginning with Anne of Avonlea (1909,
about Anne as a schoolteacher) and Anne of the Island (1915, about
Anne's university education). Next, she wrote: Anne's House of Dreams
(1917, about her early marriage to Gilbert), Rainbow Valley (1919, about
her children as pre-adolescents), and Rilla of Ingleside (1921,
about her children as young adults during the Great War of 1914-1918 [World
War I]). After a fifteen-year hiatus, Montgomery returned to the characters
to fill gaps in the overall saga: Anne of Windy Poplars (1936),
about Anne's three years as principal of Summerside High School before
her marriage to Gilbert; Anne of Ingleside (1939), about Anne's
children as youngsters; and The Blythes Are Quoted, completed close to
the end of her life.
