To her, the happiest moments in each week
were those in which letters came from home.
It was not until she had got her first letters
that she began to think she could ever liked
Kingsport or feel at home there.

Before they came, Avonlea had seemed
thousands of miles away;
those letters brought it near and linked the
old life to the new so closely that they began
to seem one and the same, instead of two
hopelessly segregated existences.

from Anne of the Island
by Lucy Maud Montgomery



Based on chapter 5.

Anne, Phil and Prissy are at their freshman's year at Redmond College, and they are beginning to get acquainted with the town of Kingsport. Of course, Anne terribly miss Avonlea, and she always reads avidily all the letters that come from home. In this deviation I've imagined her while reading one of Davey's hilarious letters. Davey is Marilla's seven years old adopted nephew, a darling mischivious little boy, who adores Anne because they share the same level of weirdness. As Marilla once said to Rachel: "Anne's answers are even more weird than Davey's questions"

Two words about the room. It's not the blue-one at Patty's Place, but that in the boarding house that Anne and Priscilla shared during their first year at Redmond. I still laugh when I think of that place, because the landladies (Miss hannah and Miss Ada Harvey) were obsessed with pillows and they filled their boarders rooms with them. But there was a rule, nobody couldn't sit on those cushions. I imagined much more pillows in this deviation, but I end up to to draw just a few of them. Anyway, try to figure them everywhere into Anne's room. (Who read the book will understand me ).


Sorry, I can't remember where I took the brushes for the carpet's swirl. If you are the creator, tell me, and I'll give you credit.

Altra deviation ispirata alla saga di "Anna capelli rossi" (lo so sono monotematica ) sempre in riferimento ai libri e non all'anime.

Terzo volume: Anne of the Island/Il baule dei sogni[in italiano] durante il primo anno di università al Redmond College, Anne e le sue amiche, Phil e Prissy, cercano di addattarsi alla loro nuova vita nella città di Kingsport, così diversa dall piccola Avonlea. Per questo le lettere che arrivano a casa, sono uno dei momenti più attesi della settimana.
