“After all, the only real roses are the pink ones.”– L. M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island, 1915
Anne of the Island was published in 1915, six years after Anne of Avonlea. Its focus is on Anne’s college years at the fictional Redmond, Kingsport which drew on Montgomery’s own time at Dalhousie University in Halifax. It is also the volume in which the long Anne-and-Gilbert thread, set up in Anne of Green Gables, finally resolves.
