"Rainbow Valley (1919) is the seventh book in the chronology of the Anne
of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, although it was the
fifth book published. While Anne Shirley was the main protagonist of the
previous books, this novel focuses more on her six children and their
interactions with the children of Anne's new neighbour, Presbyterian
minister John Meredith. The work draws heavily on Montgomery's own life
in the Leaskdale Manse, where she wrote a large number of books."
