Rilla Blythe, Anne’s youngest, is a pleasure-loving girl of nearly fifteen when war is declared in 1914. As her brothers and friends enlist, she takes in a war baby carried home in a soup tureen, organises a Junior Red Cross, and waits for news at Glen St. Mary with the redoubtable Susan Baker and the faithful Dog Monday.
Written just after the war, it is a moving record of the waiting, fear and courage of a Canadian village in wartime. Download the free EPUB.
