Anne's House of Dreams

Well, it's my fifth L.M. Montgomery book finished this year. It is, I'm afraid, the last in the series I will like. I have yet to read Anne of Ingleside though perhaps it will be just as good. I just know that last time I read the series (approx. 5 years ago) I didn't think much of Rainbow Valley (#7). It wasn't about Anne! At least hardly... That might have been okay if only the new characters were as endearing.

I tend to think that this book has some of the best characters in the whole series. Captain Jim is someone it seems you wouldn't mind knowing. I wish I could read his life-book. Cornelia Bryant and Leslie are quite good too. Marilla, however, almost fades from view now that Anne has moved from Avonlea... Isn't it fun? Making the books seem like reality. I almost begin to think of the events as historical facts.

In any case if you've any interest in seeing the book online here is my usual link to Project Gutenberg:
