Lucy Maud Montgomery

A favorite of everyone from Mark Twain to Duchess Kate There's never a dull moment in the life of wonderful, whimsical Anne. The adoring mother of five lively children—with a baby on the way!—Anne's life is full to bursting. And that's before the overbearing Aunt Mary Maria arrives for a lengthy visit... Still, there's nowhere Annie would rather be than her own beloved Ingleside in the adoring arms of her husband, Gilbert. Life with her imaginative, adventurous children seems close to perfect until Anne begins to worry that her very busy doctor doesn't love her anymore. She may be a little older, but she's still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable Anne of Green Gables—and she's ready to make her darling husband fall in love with her all over again! Anne Shirley once said, "Dear old world, you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you." That sentiment is echoed by readers around the world who've fallen in love with this remarkable heroine. This new edition lovingly restores the original, unabridged text and includes an all-new, exclusive introduction with special memories from L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter.

Anne of Ingleside

Probably the most boring and least memorable of all the Anne books, but it has to be got through for the grand finale. And, after all, I had rather read this book than the fantasy/action book sharing space on my bedside table and finished this one in two days. Somehow Montgomery just gets you so invested in her characters and you can't help but want to find out what happens to them next and think about them even when you're not reading.

           Anne Of Ingleside Book Review

I think of all the Anne books in the series, this book was different than what I was expecting- and I loved it.
Because of the title being "Anne" of Ingleside, you would think the book revolves more around her, but it doesn't. The majority of the book focuses on her children (who IMO are the cutest kids in literature), and the small problems they face throughout the couple years that the book covers. It's not so much about Anne as it is about the Blythe family all together. And I really enjoyed that differentiation. 

I think my favorite part of the novel was when Walter is sleeping over at a family friends during Anne's pregnancy with Rilla. The kids in that household were teasing him and told him that his mom was dying. He's taunted so much that he feels the need to get up in the middle of the night and walk over 5 miles to his house- and he does it!

 I just thought it was such a sweet and innocent part of the book, it was so pure and showed the good relationships Anne had with her children. All her children worried about upsetting their mom because of how loving she was towards them. I think its a book all young mothers should read.

It's not my top favorite of the series, but it's definitely a treasure, and I look forward to one day reading it again!

Anna di Ingleside

Carino,molto lento dato che ogni capitolo era una avventura di un protagonista. spero in un prossimo libro un po'piu veloce e divertente. continuo ad amare jem e le gemelle -soprattutto nan dopo averle conosciute entrambe, all'inizio preferivo dì per il nome e i capelli rossi-. Molto dolce perfetto per iniziare a pensare positivo e a ,come dire, "romanticizzare" la vita 💕💕💕

There's never a dull moment for busy, bustling Anne, who's now the mother of five children and has a sixth one on the way. With her visiting aunt, the insufferable Mary Maria, also in the mix--and soon wearing out her welcome--Anne's life is a constant whirl.
    But despite the endless demands on her time, Anne can't think of any place she'd rather be than her beloved Ingleside. At least not until the day she begins to imagine that her cherished Gilbert doesn't love her anymore. Could it possibly be true? She's a little older, maybe, but in her heart she knows she's still the same fiery redhead who came to Green Gables all those years ago. She hasn't changed, but has he?
   Never one to go down without a fight, the irrepressible, indomitable Anne sets out to make her husband fall in love with her all over again.

Full (mini) review now posted!

It’s fun to watch someone grow from a child into an adult with children of their own. Anne of Green Gables is now Anne of Ingleside, and her home is filled with life and laughter. She is a wife settled into her marriage, and is now the mother of a whole passel of children. This group of kids is incredibly varied in looks and personality, but they’re all children of imagination and character, like their parents. This book is mainly a collection of tales in the children’s lives, though there are still stories from Anne’s perspective, as well. It honestly felt more like a collection short stories than an actual novel, but it was still very enjoyable. Every story was entertaining and funny. Also, this is the first legitimately new to me book in this series. I had read much more of it than I had originally thought, but not this one!

you can tell l.m. montgomery's trying to shift the focus from anne :( 
it kinda punched me in the throat to realise we've now seen anne grow up from an orphan. when she replies diana blythe and says she's often gone to bed hungry during her time at the orphanage - that simple line, "Often", just underscored how far anne's gotten. how blessed are we to be alive and to spin our own story, particularly so when we have grown up in difficult circumstances. the anne series has always been my dream, in the sense that it reminds me to be thankful for each day whether sorrowful or joyful. it kindly offers hope.
it also astounds me how circular history is. what montgomery has written - the feelings - still persist even in 2021. i loved how this instalment ended with anne's jealousy. she has always been a saintly mother, but we see her human weaknesses to. i particularly loved the line, "if my husband has to be 'held', i don't want to hold him." very apt for where i currently am in life, i think.
i would like to be as patient and sweet as anne, in my own way. i would like to give the benefit of doubt to others, to make friends, but be kind to myself and know i'm only human and i act silly sometimes, too.

Follow the life of Anne of Green Gables in this complete eight book collection by L M Montgomery; a timeless children's classic.

3.5*
This series should really be coming to an end, so many times throughout this book it just felt like the author was just adding stories to add to the page count. We had two stories about Di that were almost exactly the same, we had a story about Walter that was purely him listening to some ladies gossip and what that gossip was, and whenever we needed a bit of drama, they just put Anne in mortal danger - again. There were some touching stories, like Nan making deals with God to save her mother, and Jem's heartbreak involving dogs, and it was stories like that that brought the rating up for me, but that doesn't disqualify the fat shaming, and treatment of the first nation people. There might have been more issues that I've forgotten, but I found those two to be repetitive and uncomfortable and really aged the book. Excited for the series to end, because there is no longer any purpose to the story.

L. Montgomery

The sixth volume of the adventures of red-haired Anne Shirley. Anne, now Mrs Doctor Blythe, is still sometimes as impetuous as when she was the girl from Green Gables. But with six lively children and hard-worked Gilbert to look after - not to mention Gilbert's disapproving aunt, Anne has to be practical too. Especially when the children get into as many scrapes as she ever did!

Although this was enjoyable, I really missed Anne throughout the book.

Lucy Maud Montgomery, publicly known as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author, best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables. In 1908, Montgomery published her first book, Anne of Green Gables upon which it became an immediate success. She then followed this with a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. In the last year of her life, Montgomery completed what she intended to be a ninth novel featuring Anne, titled The Blythes Are Quoted. It included fifteen short stories (most of which were previously published) that she revised to include Anne and her family as mainly peripheral characters; forty-one poems (most of which were previously published) that she attributed to Anne and to her son Walter, who died as a soldier in the Great War; and vignettes featuring the Blythe family members disAnne is the mother of five, with never a dull moment in her lively home. And now with a new baby on the way and insufferable Aunt Mary visiting - and wearing out her welcome - Anne's life is full to bursting. Still, Mrs Doctor can't think of any place she'd rather be than her own beloved Ingleside. Until the day she begins to worry that her adored Gilbert doesn't love her anymore. How could that be? She may be a little older, but she's still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable redhead - the wonderful Anne of Green Gables, all grown up... She's ready to make her cherished husband fall in love with her all over again! cussing the poems. (source: Wikipedia)

Anne of Ingleside' is the sixth book in the ‘Anne of Green Gables’ series. Seven years on from ‘Anne’s House of Dreams’ the Blythes have set up home in a house they affectionately name Ingleside. Anne and Giblert now have several children who engage in a series of adventures and mishaps with the other local youngsters. Anne begins to worry that her husband no longer loves her but vows to make him fall for her again. This early work by Lucy Maud Montgomery was originally published in 1939 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874, New London, in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother, Clara Woolner (Macneil), died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel, titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success, and following it up with several sequels, Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name. Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.

In the next couple of years Anne and Gilbert's youngest child 'Rilla' is born.
