#7 - Anne of Windy Poplars

Project Gutenberg in Australia deserves kudos this time.

We rejoin Anne Shirley in her adventures. This time, she is the principle of the Summerside school. She is passing three years waiting for Gilbert to finish medical school so they might be married. L. M. Montgomery used a different format in this book, using letters as much as narrative to tell a story. The book is well written as are the others, but for the first time I was bored by the series. The book should be great for young lovers of the adventures of Anne Shirley, but for older lovers of the series, this is the point to stop reading.
