Rilla of Ingleside

Rilla of Ingleside (1921) is the final book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the eighth of the ten novels written. This book draws the focus back onto a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Marilla Blythe, and adds some gravity to proceedings since it takes place during World War I and the three Blythe boys, Jem, Walter, and Shirley end up fighting in Europe. Consequently, many consider this to be the best book of the series. The book is dedicated: "To the memory of FREDERICA CAMPBELL MACFARLANE who went away from me when the dawn broke on January 25, 1919?a true friend, a rare personality, a loyal and courageous soul."
