ANNE OF THE ISLAND (65th thousand)
Illustrated by H. Weston Taylor.
“It has been well worth while to watch the growing up of Anne, and the privilege of being on intimate terms with her throughout the process has been properly valued. The once little girl of Green Gables should have a permanent fictional place of high yet tender esteem.”–New York Herald.
FURTHER CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA (20th thousand).
Illustrated by John Goss.
