The winsome Anne Shirley is grown, has been married to her beloved Gilbert Blythe for fifteen years, and is the mother of six spirited children. When a strange family moves into a nearby mansion,Anne and her family are drawn into a host of trials, schemes and triumphs. The Meredith family is comprised of two boys and two girls, a minister father but no mother, and a runaway girl named Mary Vance. The clever and mischievous Meredith kids join Anne's children in a private hideout to carry out plans to save Mary from the orphanage, to help the lonely minister find happiness, and to save a pet rooster from becoming a soup ingredient.

In this, another of L. M. Montgomery's beloved books, the sun-dappled world of Rainbow Valley is always full of adventure and delight.

Critic reviews

“With a generous sprinkling of humor, great sensitivity to the feelings of the young, and an appreciation for the muddles that can take place in life, L. M. Montgomery has created a story that will delight all fans of Anne Shirley. How wonderful it is to see what her children are like and to get involved in the lives of a new set of characters.”

(Through the Looking Glass Children’s Book Review)

“In Rainbow Valley…[Anne’s] children carry on the tradition of involving themselves in the lives of others, which their mother began long ago at Green Gables. The resulting stories are full of the same old-fashioned charm as that beloved classic.”

i ought to continue with my studies but had to know that the children would get what they deserve. Anne was fleeting in this, but it was wonderful to get to know her children. life in a small community sounds quite tiresome in those days. There are so many restrictions and so much judgement from Christian folk. Exhausting! Written so beautifully, you can't help feeling invested.

It is a beautiful tale of trials and love ❤️

I love Lucy Mauds work. I wish this was more about AnnE and her family but I still love it and could listen to it for hours and again on repeat. Well actually I do.

Love the story but would definitely be improved without racial slurs - please fix this. I understand that times were different when this book was written but they weren't when audible was created. If they can't be removed maybe a disclaimer would be good like Disney do on old films.

Racial slurs should be removed

This book, story-wise, could have been the best in the world, but it was hard to tell how good it was because the narration was awful. I understand that this was recorded some time ago and is available for free with a subscription but some of the others in this series had much better narrators who didn’t sound bored with life. Rainbow Valley is a late in a series book as it is, but could have been read with much more energy and interest in my opinion. Even listening on 1.3 speed it felt slow.

Not a fan of the narration.
