Anne of the Island (Anne of Green Gables Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 2,227 ratings

New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and frivolous new pal Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises...including a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable, the sale of her very first story, and a tragedy that teaches her a painful lesson. But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly Anne must decide if she's ready for love...

This book is NOT L. M. Montgomery’s original version but a very poor rewrite. Do not buy it!
The Kindle version of the book was severely mangled in its language, so much that I could not read it. This had been a favourite book of my childhood and I could not believe that the author had expressed herself so poorly. It has taken me time to find a hard copy of the original book and so evidence that the Kindle version did not use the author’s original language. I would have thought it was unacceptable to publish such a traducing version, especially without warning.

    This is the fourth book in the "Anne of Green Gables" series and carries the story of Anne some way forward. Anne - as well as Gilbert and others - is now studying at Redmond College. We read about her experiences starting as a Freshman and living in a boarding house with lots of cushions that must be taken care of! We are introduced to a real character of a girl, Philippa - a rich, seemingly irresponsible, but very likeable girl, who comes to board with Anne and Anne's friend Priscilla. Anne is faced with her first proposal - by proxy! And then comes another from Charlie Sloan who has his pride pricked when Anne refuses. Anne's life at Redmond goes on - she and friends come to rent a delightful house called Patty's Place with some more appealing characters. Then Anne meets a man - seemingly the man of her dreams - but in the end she comes to realise which man she really does love - the man who has loved her for so many years - Gilbert!
    However, there is much more to "Anne of the Island" than romance. Anne spends some time in Avonlea, where Davy Keith in particular brings some comedy into Anne's life. We read about the day that Davy makes his sister Dora play truant from Sunday School with him - and what happens! Then there is the story of "Averil's Atonement" - the serious novel that, to Anne's horror, becomes a baking powder advertisement! Real tragedy looms when Ruby Gillis is unable to accept that she is dying of consumption - at last Anne is able to help her. And there is much, much more! This is a excellent book, especially for those who know and love other Anne books.

    I'm not kidding- this book and whole series in fact is great, and one of the best classics of all times. Anne Shirley is now giving up her post as teacher at Avonlea school and attending Redmond College, to puruse her real dreams and ambitions. She takes some of her pals with her, close enough is Priscilla Grant, who shares a mangey old boarding house with her, until Anne's old Queen's friend Stella and exciting new girl Phil come and join her. Stella's relation allows them to use a wonderful, elegant house called Patty's Place for rent, and soon, the girls are having the time of their lives! Anne is also proving popular with the boys too. Billie Andrews, Charlie Sloane and Gilbert Blythe all propose, and are all rejected, until Anne meets Roy Gardner - handsome, and her old description of an ideal man. Will he be her husband, or will she marry her old rival and school comrade Gilbert? Amazing and a must-read before you die book.

    In L.M. Montgomery's third 'Anne' story, we catch up again with Anne Shirley at the age of eighteen as she prepares to leave her Green Gables home and her Aunt Marilla behind her so that she can study at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. When she arrives in Kingsport, she meets up with Priscilla Grant, a friend from Avonlea, but she also makes friends with the beautiful Philippa Gordon, who has left two handsome beaux behind her and who attracts even more young men when she begins the new term at Redmond College. The three young women set up home together in a quaint little cottage called 'Patty's Place' where they intend to study towards their degree, but also where they plan to entertain the young men who flock around them. Anne, who is growing more attractive as each year passes, is still being pursued by the handsome Gilbert Blythe from Avonlea (also studying at Redmond) who has marriage in mind, but when Anne tells him frankly that she could only ever regard him as a friend, Gilbert is forced to accept that she will never become his wife. Instead Anne becomes romantically interested in the very good-looking, wealthy and well-bred Royal Gardner, who finds Anne very attractive and thinks he has found a prospective wife, and Gilbert now appears to be getting rather close to the lovely Christine Stuart - a situation that somehow bothers Anne although she can't quite decide why that should be. Back at Green Gables during the holidays, Anne catches up with her dear friend Diana, to whom she is soon to be a bridesmaid and, of course, her much-loved Aunt Marilla and the twins, the docile Dora and the irrepressible Davy; Anne also takes a journey east to teach summer school - where she receives another, and very unexpected, proposal of marriage, but not one she is in the least inclined to accept...

    Like the previous two books in this series (‘Anne of Green Gables’ and ‘Anne of Avonlea’), this little children’s novel is one that I read and loved as a child, and although the story didn’t have quite the effect that it had on me all those years ago, I still found much to enjoy when reading it again as an adult. It is true that the story is full of homespun philosophies and tales with a moral to them, which may not appeal to some of today’s readers - however, for me, “Anne of the Island’ made an enjoyable and heart-warmingly nostalgic read.

    I have read many romantic novels in my life but this one kept me going right up to the last chapter. I knew what the ending would be right from book 1 but just enjoyed the stories as they unfolded. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, especialy after some of the books which are being highly rated at present, but this is just delightful and wonderful reading, even for an old granny like me! I wish I could be like Anne Shirley with such a positive, happy personality with her love of children and the wonderful way she deals with them and their peccadilloes.

    A fabulous story. I was enthralled as a child and now as a mother it is one of those books I couldn't wait for my girls to grow up and read. Reading age ability is probably about 10 / 11 years and probably a girl favorite. It is a classic up there with the Narnia series, the Borrowers, Swallows & Amazons, Stig of the Dump etc. I have yet to read the other 2 in the series: Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island. We can share them -fab.
