Rainbow Valley

When widower, John Meredith and his four children move to a new town, they quickly bond with Jem, Walter, Nan, Di, Shirley and Rilla Blythe. Despite their questionable reputation, they become close friends spending time at a place called, Rainbow Valley.

Anne and Gilbert Blythe are happily married with six children. Similar to their parents, Jem, Walter, Nan, Di, Shirley and Rilla are bright, kind and extremely perceptive. They soon meet a new family consisting of Minister John Meredith, sons Jerry and Carl and daughters, Faith and Una. The children’s mother died at a young age, leaving them without much structure or comfort. To strangers, the Meredith clan appears brash and rude, but the Blythe’s believe in their underlying capacity for good.

The friendship between the Blythe and Meredith children is at the heart of Rainbow Valley. In light of their differences, they find common ground and become a thriving support system for one another. Montgomery presents an endearing children’s story driven by compassion and acceptance.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Rainbow Valley is both modern and readable.
