Anne of Windy Poplars
$6.00
Read the timeless classic about the fiery orphan Anne Shirley, now a school principal, behind the hit Netflix series Anne with an E--now celebrating a hundred years of this children's favorite.

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind and is ready to start a new job and a new chapter of her life, far from Green Gables. But she's about to face a big challenge: the Pringles. Known as the royal family of Summerside, they quickly make it clear that Anne is not who they wanted as the principal of Summerside High School. But Anne isn't one to back down from a challenge.

Determined to make Summerside her home, Anne settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars. There, she finds great allies in the widows Aunt Kate, Aunt Chatty, and their lively housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne uncovers Summerside's strangest secrets, winning over the prickly Pringles becomes just the first of her many triumphs.

This special Collector's Edition includes the original, unabridged text, a specially commissioned biography of L.M. Montgomery, and a map of Prince Edward Island.

$4.50 - $6.50
Anne and Gilbert join in domestic harmony in this artfully packaged edition of the fourth book in the Anne of Green Gables series.

Anne is marrying Gilbert Blythe! While she's deliriously happy to finally be with her version of Prince Charming, she's devastated when she learns that they will be making their new home miles away from her beloved Avonlea. But Anne is always up for an adventure, especially when she has Gilbert by her side.

The newlyweds settle right in to their house of dreams. Anne couldn't be more content--the house is darling and fits all of her lofty requirements: a bubbling brook running through the property, lots of lovely trees, and close proximity to a beautiful old lighthouse and the sea. In true Anne fashion she immediately makes new friends, including salty Captain Jim, beautiful but tragic Leslie Moore, and prim and proper Miss Cornelia Bryant.

While Anne's days are filled with triumphs and tragedies, her imagination, spirit, and sense of humor guide her as she navigates this next chapter in her extraordinary life.

This addition to the renowned Anne of Green Gables series makes a wonderful gift and keepsake.

ANTIGONE (P)

ANTIGONE (P)
$2.75

In his long life, Sophocles (born ca. 496 B.C., died after 413) wrote more than one hundred plays. Of these, seven complete tragedies remain, among them the famed Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. In Antigone, he reveals the fate that befalls the children of Oedipus. With its passionate speeches and sensitive probing of moral and philosophical issues, this powerful drama enthralled its first Athenian audiences and won great honors for Sophocles.
The setting of the play is Thebes. Polynices, son of Oedipus, has led a rebellious army against his brother, Eteocles, ruler of Thebes. Both have died in single combat. When Creon, their uncle, assumes rule, he commands that the body of the rebel Polynices be left unburied and unmourned, and warns that anyone who tampers with his decree will be put to death.
Antigone, sister of Polynices, defies Creon's order and buries her brother, claiming that she honors first the laws of the gods. Enraged, Creon condemns her to be sealed in a cave and left to die. How the gods take their revenge on Creon provides the gripping denouement to this compelling tragedy, which remains today one of the most frequently performed of classical Greek dramas.
