Anne is now married to Gilbert Blythe and raising six children at Ingleside. The demands of family life call for patience and practicality, but the imagination and impulsiveness that shaped her childhood have not entirely disappeared.

In the sixth novel of L. M. Montgomery’s Anne series, the children’s adventures bring fresh complications and echoes of their mother’s earlier scrapes. This English-language Puffin Classics paperback offers a new edition of Anne’s story as a mother, with an illustrated cover showing a woman and child among flowers.
