O ovoj e-knjizi
Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. The book soon introduces Anne's new and problematic neighbour, Mr. Harrison, and his foul-mouthed parrot, as well as the twins, Davy and Dora. They are the children of Marilla's third cousin and she takes them in when their mother dies while their uncle is out of the country. Dora is a nice, well-behaved girl, somewhat boring in her perfect behaviour. Davy is Dora's exact opposite, much more of a handful and constantly getting into many scrapes. They are initially meant to stay only a short time, but the twins' uncle postpones his return to collect the twins and then eventually dies. Both Anne and Marilla are relieved (Marilla inwardly of course) to know the twins will remain with her. Other characters introduced are some of Anne's new pupils, such as Paul Irving, an American boy living with his grandmother in Avonlea while his widower father works in the States. He delights Anne with his imagination and whimsical ways, which are reminiscent of Anne's in her childhood. Later in the book, Anne and her friends meet Miss Lavendar Lewis, a sweet but lonely lady in her 40s who had been engaged to Paul's father 25 years before, but parted from him after a disagreement. At the end of the book, Mr. Irving returns and he and Miss Lavendar marry. Anne discovers the delights and troubles of being a teacher, takes part in the raising of Davy and Dora, and organizes the A.V.I.S. (Avonlea Village Improvement Society) together with Gilbert, Diana, and Fred Wright, though their efforts to improve the town are not always successful. The Society takes up a subscription to repaint an old town hall, only to have the painter provide the wrong colour of paint, turning the hall into a bright blue eyesore. Towards the end of the book, Mrs. Rachel Lynde's husband dies and Mrs. Lynde moves in with Marilla at Green Gables, allowing Anne to go to college at last. She and Gilbert make plans to attend Redmond College in the fall. This book sees Anne maturing slightly, even though she still cannot avoid getting into a number of her familiar scrapes, as only Anne can—some of which include selling her neighbor's cow (having mistaken it for her own), or getting stuck in a broken duck house roof while peeping into a pantry window.

O autoru
Lucy Maud Montgomery, born on November 30, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, is an iconic figure in the world of literature, best known for her vivid storytelling and richly drawn characters. Orphaned at a young age, Montgomery was raised by her strict grandparents, an experience that deeply influenced her writing. Her early life in the picturesque yet isolated landscape of Prince Edward Island provided a fertile ground for her imagination, which she later channeled into her beloved novels.Montgomery's literary career began with short stories and poems published in various magazines. Her breakthrough came with her first novel, which introduced readers to her unique blend of humor, pathos, and keen observation of human nature. Her works often explore themes of resilience, the power of imagination, and the complexities of rural life, resonating with readers worldwide.Despite her success, Montgomery's life was not without controversy. She faced significant challenges, including struggles with mental health and a tumultuous marriage. Her candid portrayal of women's inner lives and societal roles was revolutionary for her time, challenging the norms and expectations of early 20th-century Canada.Montgomery's influence extends beyond her literary achievements; she paved the way for future generations of Canadian writers, particularly women, to explore their voices and stories. Her legacy endures in the timeless appeal of her characters and the enchanting world she created, which continues to captivate and inspire readers and writers alike.
