But after her best friend, Dianna Barry (Schuyler Grant) gets married and her friendship with Gilbert Blythe (Jonathan Crombie) takes an unwelcome - to Anne, anyway - turn toward sentimentality, Anne leaves Avonlea to take a position at Kingsport Ladies College. Now a teacher herself, Anne is also an aspiring writer, penning romantic short stories and dreaming grand dreams.
Montgomery's novels Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, and Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel picks up the impulsive red-head's adventures a little bit after where Anne of Green Gables left off.
