Anne of Avonlea is a
film made for television 6-part miniseries, developed in the United Kingdom by the
BBC as a sequel to its 1972
Anne of Green Gables miniseries. It is based on
Anne of Avonlea (1909) and
Anne of the Island (1915), both sequels to the 1908 novel
Anne of Green Gables by
Lucy Maud Montgomery.
[1] This British version was directed by Joan Craft, with
Kim Braden in the role of Anne. Both had previously worked on
the 1972 adaptation of the preceding novel.

Anne begins a new job as a teacher at the local school. While working there, she continues to pursue her dream of becoming a published writer by winning a baking soda company's essay contest; fends off several suitors; and returns to Green Gables whenever she can to visit her adoptive mother, Marilla.

Although the prequel Anne of Green Gables is considered lost, Anne of Avonlea has survived intact and is available on DVD.
