Anne of the Island, the third book in the Anne series, stands alone as a fully-fledged novel, but also advances the story of Anne’s life within the series of books. The novel begins with Anne’s move to Redmond College in Nova Scotia, and concludes shortly after she graduates four years later. In this novel, the charm of Prince Edward Island and the funny anecdotes of the first two novels continue.
