I'm sure I'll be thinking about that the next time I read the Anne books. I hadn’t thought of a parallel with Pride and Prejudice.

Since LM Montgomery and Jane Austen are far and away my two favorite authors, I should have picked up on such a thing. Guess I just have to re-read AotI! This one and Anne's House of Dreams are my favorites. And Rilla of Ingleside, but that's not really strictly-speaking an Anne book. I think I, like you, most enjoy the Anne-Gilbert stuff and those two books have the most significant interactions. I have never thought about a Pride and Prejudice connection here.

This one and Anne’s House of Dreams are my favorites. And Rilla of Ingleside, but that’s not really strictly-speaking an Anne book. I think I, like you, most enjoy the Anne-Gilbert stuff and those two books have the most significant interactions.

I'll have to mention the <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> connection because I don't think she noticed it before. Every few years, my wife sits down and devours Anne’s adventures in a single sitting.
