Anne of Windy Poplars

"Windy Poplars takes on a charm of its own, when Anne Shirley boards with two widows, Aunt Kate, and Aunt Chatty, with Rebecca Dew as the caretaker-cum-cook, during her three-year term as principal in the village school. She captures her experiences with the residents of Summerside through letters to Gilbert, at Redmond Medical College, Kingsport. The Pringles make Anne's life as a principal difficult, as she encounters problems and hostility both at school and in the neighbourbood. As is typical of Anne, she gets involved int he residents' lives, changes it for the better and fixes alliances, which would otherwise be dangling in mid-air-- Little Elizabeth, Katherine, Terry, and Dovie. Will Anne finally win over the Pringles?"--Back cover.
