Tonight, we’ll read the 21th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “A New Departure in Flavorings”

In the previous chapter – Anne is captivated by the beauty of spring, especially the Mayflowers and enjoys a day gathering them with her classmates. Later, Anne’s vivid imagination causes her to fear “The Haunted Wood,” (a name she made up herself) but Marilla forces her to confront her fear by walking through it alone at night. Terrified but unharmed, Anne completes the walk and vows to appreciate the ordinary rather than romanticizing spooky happenings.
