Show Description In this week's episode of "1001 Stories from the Gilded Age," join Gizelle Erickson as we delve into Anne of the Island, Chapter 6, 'In the Park'". Anne Shirley, along with Gilbert, Charlie, Philippa, and Priscilla, embark on a serene autumn walk through Kingsport's park, where Anne and Gilbert's reflect on life's joys and sorrows amidst the comforting pines. They come across the charming, vine-covered "Patty's Place" that captures Anne's imagination. This quaint cottage, with its old-fashioned, "unworldly flowers and shrubs", stands in stark contrast to the surrounding opulence. This beautifully echoes the author L.M. Montgomery's own profound love for gardening and natural beauty. As Anne feels an inexplicable connection to this enchanting haven, she harbors a mysterious presentiment that she will become better acquainted with it. Tune in to explore this delightful chapter, where simple beauty challenges Gilded Age extravagance and Anne's intuition hints at future adventures.

ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 4) APRIL'S LADY LUCY M. MONTGOMERY
This week on "1001 Stories From The Gilded Age," we delve into Chapter Four: "April's Lady" of Anne of the Island, as Anne Shirley truly begins to navigate her new life. Having landed in Kingsport, a quaint old town wrapped in its ancient colonial atmosphere and haloed by the romance of many legends, Anne initially feels as insignificant as the teeniest drop in a most enormous bucket amidst the throngs of Redmond freshies and freshettes. Seeking solace from the bustling new environment, Anne finds an unexpected haven in Old St. John’s Cemetery, a quaint and delightful historical spot at the heart of Kingsport. Here, we meet the vibrant Philippa Gordon, a bewitching new friend whose charming indecision, candid confessions about vanity, boys, and the absurdities of life, both amuse and disarm Anne and Priscilla. Join us as Anne, Priscilla, and Phil begin to forge new friendships and put forth "a tiny soul-root into Kingsport soil".

ANNE OF THE ISLAND (CHAP 3): GREETING AND FAREWELL LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY
This week, in Chapter 3: "Greeting and Farewell" of Anne of the Island, listeners will join Anne Shirley as she stands on the threshold of a grand adventure, departing the cherished comfort of Green Gables for the bustling, unknown world of Kingsport and Redmond College. The episode opens with a dim and dreary dawn, setting the scene for tearful goodbyes to her beloved home, family, and friends, including a hilariously stubborn Davey and a seemingly stoic Marilla. As Anne embarks on her journey, she faces the initial bewilderment of finding herself alone amidst strangers in the bright glare of Kingsport station. Her homesickness is palpable, a swamping wave of loneliness, until the welcome sight of a familiar face brings much-needed comfort. This chapter beautifully explores the very essence of growing up and forging one's path, navigating new friendships and challenges. For many women like Anne, pursuing a university education off Prince Edward Island was a significant step, as PEI itself did not have women university graduates until 1941, and its only university at the time, St. Dunston's, did not accept women for its first 84 years. Join us as Anne bids adieu to her beloved Prince Edward Island and bravely embraces the thrilling, uncertain promise of tomorrow.
