Anne's wonderful, lively children found a special place all their own. Rainbow Valley was the perfect spot to play, to dream and to make the most unusual friends, like the Merediths. They were two girls and two boys who had no mother. What they did have was a minister father who was looking for a wife but so far had found nothing but heartbreak. Between the minister courting a young spinster and the escapades of the restless children, the town was bubbling with scandal. But in the end, the warmth and laughter of Anne of Green Gables taught all an unforgettable lesson of love.

About the Author
Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, in 1874. Educated at Prince Edward College, Charlottetown, and Dalhousie University, she embarked on a career in teaching. From 1898 until 1911 she took care of her maternal grandmother in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island, and during this time wrote many poems and stories for Canadian and American magazines.
Montgomery’s first novel, Anne of Green Gables, met with immediate critical and popular acclaim, and its success, both national and international, led to seven sequels. More autobiographical than the books about Anne is the trilogy of novels about another Island orphan, Emily Starr.
In 1911 Montgomery married the Rev. Ewan Macdonald, a Presbyterian clergyman, and they lived in Ontario, where he was the pastor of parishes in Leaskdale and, later, in Norval. They retired to Toronto in 1936.
Lucy Maud Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This book is mostly about the 3 children who had moved into the manse. Even though they are very "different" and interesting kids, I don't find them interesting, unlike Anne was when she was younger. I've seen a review which compares Faith to Anne - in their ways of getting into all sorts of unpredictable and unexpected trouble, imaginations, and making up all sorts of original excuses... But I felt Faith lacked Anne's fire and zest and didn't impress me at all.
This books is drifting apart from the series' main character - Anne. She is a small, supporting character in this book , and the closest we get to hearing about her are a few small stories about her kids... Which is my main reason for feeling this book should not belong in the Anne series...

This book is great! You need to have read all of the Anne of Green Gables books to understand it. Its about Annes cheeky children who meet the new vicars children.The vicars kids are very naughty and their father is in his own little world most of the time, and doesn't spend much time with them. Annes kids really like them and have adventures with them. The vicars kids also have a runaway orphan who lives with them. She is very outgoing and seems quite common.The children don't know what to make of her at first, but she soon becomes their friend. This is my favourite book out of the Anne series I and would reccomend it to anyone.

This book is about Anne and Gilbert Blythe's children and their friends, the Merediths. It focuses on the Meredith children, Jerry, Faith, Carl, and Una. They are dear, sweet, fun-loving children always getting into trouble by their own heedlessness. The children have many adventures, including the discovery of Mary Vance, a run-away orphan, and the forming of the Good Conduct Club, which provides many laughs for the reader. From the time the Merediths move in, the town lives in fear of what the minister's children will do next. (Example : cleaning the manse on a SUNDAY and holding a prayer competition in the Methodist graveyard!) If you want a book that will make you laugh and cry, then laugh again, this is the one!

It was okay.
I like all of the Anne books, but this one was a little dissapointing. It seemed like Anne wasn't really raising her children, which I didn't think was like her. Read more

As funny and adventurous as other LMM books!

AS GOOD AND ENCHANTING AS OTHER 'ANNE' BOOKS
I don't quite like Anne of Ingleside as I always want to know more about Anne but Montgomery just focused on Anne's children in the book. Read more

The antics of Anne's children as they begin to grow up
"Rainbow Valley" although still a very charming, touching, and funny book, tends to lack the focus of Montgomery's other novels. Read more
