Listening to this one on Audible whenever it isn’t practical to grab my copy of Anne of Ingleside

Although it is idealistic to think this perhaps, I think I like the Anne books is that it seems like they were just really happy and healthy back then! E.g. it always amazes me how she knows all the plants by name; and the narration about scenery is so vivid. They do so many fun things outdoors. They don’t have cellphones and get to have the fun of receiving letters and hearing news in person.

I didn’t notice the first time I read this that this one is mostly about adults hanging out with each other near a harbor. It is definitely different than others in the series where the characters and setting are children in meadows and countryside or teenagers in the city. Anyone agree with that? As far as “teenagers in the city,” Anne is a teenager when she goes to Redmond, right?
