Description
A timeless, heartwarming classic from the author of Anne of Green Gables, this tells the tale of Anne Shirley's irrepressible daughter, Rilla.
The eighth book in the Anne Shirley series. Anne Shirley's children are almost all grown up - except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla, who is now almost fifteen years old. No one can resist Rilla's bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile, and Rilla herself can think no further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse - and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford! But at the dance, news is brought that England has declared war on Germany. At first, this means little to Rilla, on the threshold of so many new excitements. But as her brothers go off to fight in the Great War and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn baby in a soup tureen, she is swept into a drama that tests her courage and will leave her changed for ever... A collection will be coveted by children and adults alike, this list is the best in children's literature, curated by Virago.
