ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 4) APRIL'S LADY LUCY M. MONTGOMERY

This week on "1001 Stories From The Gilded Age," we delve into Chapter Four: "April's Lady" of Anne of the Island, as Anne Shirley truly begins to navigate her new life. Having landed in Kingsport, a quaint old town wrapped in its ancient colonial atmosphere and haloed by the romance of many legends, Anne initially feels as insignificant as the teeniest drop in a most enormous bucket amidst the throngs of Redmond freshies and freshettes.  Seeking solace from the bustling new environment, Anne finds an unexpected haven in Old St. John's Cemetery, a quaint and delightful  historical spot at the heart of Kingsport.  Here, we meet the vibrant  Philippa Gordon, a bewitching new friend whose charming indecision, candid confessions about vanity, boys, and the absurdities of life, both amuse and disarm Anne and Priscilla.  Join us as Anne, Priscilla, and Phil begin to forge new friendships and put forth "a tiny soul-root into Kingsport soil".
