1935 Edition of Anne of Green Gables
Fans of the spunky red-haired Canadian will have something to celebrate this fall - a ninth Anne of Green Gables book will be published by Penguin Canada.
Readers be warned, however - while we laughed when Anne was in the depths of despair in the earlier books, “Penguin Canada says The Blythes are Quoted touches on darker themes than are normally associated with the up-beat Anne Shirley - ‘Adultery, illegitimacy, misogyny, revenge, murder, despair, bitterness, hatred, and death.’ ”
The book which was completed by L.M. Montgomery in 1942 was previously published in 1974 but this new volume will include an additional 100 pages and will be the first time it is published as Montgomery intended.
Set before and after World War I, The Blythes Quoted is made up of 15 short stories about the grown-up Anne and her family.
