Publisher Description
Anne Shirley's childhood sweetheart, Gilbert Blythe, is finally a doctor, and in the old orchard, among their dearest friends, he and Anne speak their vows. The first year of marriage brings them new friends and their own dream house on the misty purple shores of Four Winds Harbour.
A new life means fresh problems to solve—and fresh surprises. Anne and Gilbert will make new friends and meet their neighbors: Captain Jim, the lighthouse attendant, with his sad stories of the sea; Miss Cornelia Bryant, the lady who speaks from the heart—and speaks her mind; and the tragically beautiful Leslie Moore, into whose dark life Anne shines a brilliant light.

"I'm torn on this one. It's not set in Avonlea, and I really missed those characters, but at the same time, it's the Anne-and-Gilbert book! So, it's still one of my favorites in the series. The physical description is also top-notch - you can ABSOLUTELY picture the locations. It's stellar."

Anne's House of Dreams Listener Reviews

" This book makes me wish I lived in a little house by the sea and a neighboring lighthouse! "
— Laura, 1/27/2014 -
" A woman can't help but feel more womanly after this charming chronicle of Anne's first few years of marriage. A few new characters, with deep rich history, add much to the story. "
— Erin, 12/30/2013 -
" When did Anne have to get so boring? "
— Sydney, 12/13/2013 -
" I don't mean to be morbid, but I like that there is some tragedy in this novel. It's not something we often see in an Anne book. And of course, Anne is just a darling in her little House of Dreams. This is a very sweet installment in the Anne series. "
— Christina, 12/8/2013 -

— Ronna, 10/22/2013 -
" I love this book. I laugh, I cry. All of it. It's such a great continuation of the Anne storyline. It was hard to give up all the old Avonlea characters, though. "
— Kellie, 10/18/2013 -
" This is my favorite "Anne" book!! "
— Cori, 9/21/2013 -
" This is one of my favorites in the series, second only maybe to book #2. I thought this one started out a tiny bit slow, but once I got into it, it was a delight to read. I really enjoyed Captain Jim's character. "

" Had trouble adjusting to married Anne. Still loved her. Won me over in the end :D "
— Andrea, 2/16/2011 -
" In Anne's House of Dream, we experience a more mature Anne, who matures further through experiences that marriage bring with it. It is more serious and reflective in tone than the preceding Anne books, but still very enjoyable. "
— April, 1/29/2011 -
" Thoroughly enjoyable with a hint of lightness and hope. I loved these characters, especially Cornelia "Isn't that just like a man?" And Anne remains as charming as ever, proving she is a trustworthy friend to Leslie. "
— Janet, 4/25/2010 -
" This was like the sequels to Little Women, but with far fewer children, thank jeebus. A pleasant read, but not entirely remarkable in any way. "
— Emily, 2/10/2009 -
" So much better than Anne of Windy Poplars. Also, the plot made it feel oddly like it was written by the Bronte sisters. "
— Margaret, 1/15/2009 -
" My favorite Anne novel, after Anne of Green Gables. "
— Julia, 10/6/2008 -
" I put these on because they held the key to my heart during my junior highish days. I think I should read them again. "
— Susan, 6/27/2008 -
" All-time favorite book series. Movies are fantastic too. Have been known to engage in fierce debates about who Anne should have married. "
— Nikki, 5/17/2008 -
" How can you not love Anne of Green Gables? She's such a kindred spirit. "

About the Authors
Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on November 30th, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Although she lived during a time when few women received a higher education, Lucy attended Prince Wales College in Charlottestown, PEI, and then Dalhousie University in Halifax. At seventeen she went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to write for a newspaper, the Halifax Chronicle, and for its evening edition, the Echo. But Lucy returned to live with her grandmother in Cavendish, PEI, where she taught and contributed stories to magazines. It was this experience, along with the lives of her farmer and fisherfolk neighbors, that came alive when she wrote her Anne books, beginning with Anne of Green Gables (1908). Anne of Green Gables brought her overnight success and international recognition. It was followed by eight other books about Anne and Avonlea, as well as a number of other delightful novels, including her Emily series, which began in 1923 with Emily of New Moon. But it is her delightful heroine Anne Shirley, praised by Mark Twain as “the most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice,” who remains a popular favorite throughout the world. She and her husband, the Rev. Ewen MacDonald, eventually moved to Ontario. Lucy Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942.
Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was one of the most famous Canadian writers of the twentieth century. In her lifetime, Lucy published twenty novels and some five hundred short stories and poems. Her writing, rich in imagination and full of lessons in optimism, brought her international fame and remains popular today.
