#BookWormSat follows the red roads of Avonlea. 📖🍁

Anne of Green Gables brings rural PEI to life: orchards, school paths, neighbourly gossip, and a girl who finds poetry in familiar fields.
The countryside, seen through wonder. 🌳

1908 cover by George Fort Gibbs.

“He appeared on the hill at first light. The scarp was dark against a greening sky & there was the bump of the barrow & then the figure, & it shocked. I thought perhaps the warrior buried there had stood up again to haunt us.”

(Adam Thorpe, Ulverton)

(Mary Webb, Precious Bane)

“Those that are good manners at the court are as ridiculous in the country as the behavior of the country is most mockable at the court.”
