Anne of Windy Poplars published as Anne of Windy Willows in the UK,
Australia, and Japan is an epistolary novel by Canadian author L. M.
Montgomery. Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new
job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces
a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of
Summerside and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had
wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into
the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in
the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty and in their irrepressible
housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets,
winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of
her triumphs.
