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 cosy 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. This fourth book in the 'Anne of Green Gables' series has also been published under the title 'Anne of Windy Willows'.

When eleven-year-old orphan girl Anne Shirley arrives at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, with nothing but a carpetbag and an overactive imagination, she knows that she has found her ideal home. But first she must convince the Cuthberts to let her stay, even though she isn’t the boy they had hoped for. The loquacious Anne quickly finds her way into their hearts, as she has with generations of readers, and her charming adventures in Avonlea, filled with colorful characters and tender escapades, linger forever in our memories.
