AFTER Gilbert Blythe's and Anne Shirley's graduation from Redmond College, he returns as a medical student, while Anne accepts a position as principal of Summerside High School. This is the story of those three busy years of teaching and living at her lodging house which bore the name of "Windy Poplars."

Some of Anne's amusing adventures at school and at Windy Poplars are told in her chatty love letters to Gilbert. It was inevitable that Miss Anne Shirley, B.A., with her red hair and her smiling eyes should become the center of all the romantic doings of Summerside. But more than any of the "Anne" books WINDY POPLARS is a love story, the love story of Anne and Gilbert.

At the end of three years, as Anne was getting into the carriage to be driven home to Avonlea for the last time, Aunt Chatty sobbed, "We have memories of you that nothing can take away.

And so will every reader of this book have memories of Anne Shirley and her friends "that nothing can take away."
