Anne and Gilbert’s family continues to thrive in the charming community of Glen St. Mary in this seventh instalment of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s charming Anne of Green Gables series.
Fifteen years after Anne Shirley’s wedding to Gilbert Blythe, this story shifts focus to the Blythe children and their adventures. The arrival of the new minister, John Meredith, a widower who moves to Glen St. Mary with his four wild and mischievous children, introduces new friends into the story. They quickly form a close bond with Anne’s youngsters and together they embark on numerous adventures in the idyllic Rainbow Valley hollow.
In an attempt to help the Meredith children become more well-behaved, the Blythe children create a ‘Good-Conduct Club’. However, despite their good intentions, the club leads to unintended consequences, causing scandal in the community.
Read & Co. Children’s is proudly republishing Rainbow Valley as the seventh volume of Montgomery’s matching Anne of Green Gables collection – a beautifully made keepsake edition for the re-reader, complete with a brand-new introductory biography of the author.
Key features:
This Read & Co. Children’s edition of Rainbow Valley is the seventh volume of our matching eight-book Anne of Green Gables Series. Published in 1919, it steps back from Anne herself and lets her children and their adventures take centre stage at Glen St. Mary.
We find it to be one of the warmest of the eight Anne novels, and the one most full of childhood innocence and joy, focusing on the children’s friendships, their schemes, and the long evenings in the hollow they call Rainbow Valley.
We are proud to present it here as part of the matching Anne of Green Gables collection. Perfect for the re-reader, as well as those discovering Anne’s story for the first time, this beautiful collector’s edition is a treasured keepsake to be read and returned to over a lifetime.
Rainbow Valley was published in 1919, two years after Anne’s House of Dreams and at the close of the First World War – a fact that quietly shadows the novel’s closing pages. Montgomery wrote it knowing she would follow it with the home-front novel Rilla of Ingleside, foreshadowing the book’s themes. It is the only Anne book in which Anne herself plays a deliberately background role, the attention turned on the next generation.
