Anne of Ingleside (Anne of Green Gables #6)
Although currently considered the sixth entry in Canadian author L.M. Montgomery's classic series of children's novels about red-headed heroine Anne Shirley - the first (and most famous) volume, Anne of Green Gables , was released in 1908, while the eighth and final one, Rilla of Ingleside , appeared in 1921 - Anne of Ingleside was actually published in 1939, long after its companions. It was, in fact, the last of Montgomery's works to appear in her lifetime, making it into print just three
The next book in the true Anne of Green Gables series and weirdly my least favorite of the books. We meet Anne and Gilbert many years later and Anne has quite the brood now. She has 5 children and the love of her life, what could possibly go wrong?I miss Anne's antics in this book. We get to meet some of her children- Jem, Walter, Nan, and Diana oh and baby Bertha Marilla (really?). They are adorable and some of their adventures had memories of Anne's beginnings, but I missed Anne in this book.
2.5** This is the sixth book in the series that follows the irrepressible Anne Shirley as she grows from a young orphan to adulthood. NOTE: Spoilers ahead if you havent read this far in the seriesThis book focuses on Anne and Gilberts six children, who seem to all share their mothers gift of imagination and tendency toward fantasy. The chapters focus on different children and their adventures / flights of fancy. Their dear mother, Anne, as well as housekeeper Susan hold the book together.
Reading this book after so many years is like visiting a childhood haunt after many years to find only that it was not so big, not so beautiful, not so miraculous, not so mysterious, as it was then. It is like spending your early life thinking your parents are the height of perfection, compared to the day they begin to have visible (sometimes glaring) flaws. I know that this all comes full-circle in adulthood and that the day returns when you look again at your parents, at the old childhood
Full (mini) review now posted!Its fun to watch someone grow from a child into an adult with children of their own. Anne of Green Gables is now Anne of Ingleside, and her home is filled with life and laughter. She is a wife settled into her marriage, and is now the mother of a whole passel of children. This group of kids is incredibly varied in looks and personality, but theyre all children of imagination and character, like their parents. This book is mainly a collection of tales in the children
Pretty boring, the only somewhat interesting part was at the end when Anne out of nowhere turned into a jealous, shrewish cow.

I'd give this one 3.5 stars. I'm still enjoying the series, but I didn't love how much time was devoted to the children's POV sections. Just not enough of Anne herself, although the ending was quite nice.Although currently considered the sixth entry in Canadian author L.M.
