The seventh book in the Anne Shirley series. 'There was a little
unfailing spring, always icy cold and crystal pure, in a certain
birch-screened hollow of Rainbow Valley in the lower corner near
the marsh. Not a great many people knew of its existence. The manse
and Ingleside children knew, of course . . .' When the new
minister, Reverend John Meredith, arrives at the manse, the village
is scandalised by his children's behaviour. He is the best preacher
they've ever had, but since his wife died the youngsters have run
wild. Anne recognises their kindness, though, and before long the
four young Merediths are firm friends with her own six children at
Ingleside - and up to all sorts of schemes. They meet at a private
hideout - a hollow they call Rainbow Valley - and their adventures

“If it had not rained on a certain May morning, Valancy
Stirling’s whole life would have been entirely different. . .”
One day, Valancy Stirling, a quiet, shy old maid, decides to stop
listening to her nosy, small-minded relatives and start doing
exactly as she pleases. Over the next year, Valancy’s choices
will transform her life, outrage her family, confuse the entire
town of Deerwood—and bring her into close contact with the
mischievous, mysterious, violet-eyed Barney Snaith. This is a
heartwarming romance with a bold, contemporary message—a life
spent appeasing other people is a wasted one—from the beloved
author of the Anne of Green Gables series.
