Reseña del libro "Rainbow Valley (en Inglés)"

RAINBOW VALLEY By Lucy Maud MontgomeryRainbow Valley (1919) is the seventh book in the chronology of the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, although it was the fifth book published. In this book Anne Shirley is married with six children, but the book focuses more on her new neighbor, the new Presbyterian minister John Meredith, as well as the interactions between Anne's and John Meredith's children. The work draws heavily on Montgomery's own life in the Leaskdale Manse, where she wrote a large number of books.The book is dedicated: "To the memory of Goldwin Lapp, Robert Brookes and Morley Shier who made the supreme sacrifice that the happy valleys of their home land might be kept sacred from the ravage of the invader." This refers to World War I, which is the main theme of the next and final book in the series, Rilla of Ingleside.Anne Shirley has now been married to Gilbert Blythe for 15 years, and the couple have six children: Jem, Walter, Nan, Di, Shirley, and Rilla.After a trip to London, Anne returns to the news that a new minister has arrived in Glen St. Mary. John Meredith is a widower with four young children: Gerald (Jerry), Faith, Una, and Thomas Carlyle (Carl). The children have not been properly brought up since the death of their mother, with only their father (who is easily absorbed by matters of theology) to parent them. The children are considered wild and mischievous by many of the families in the village (who tend only to hear about the Meredith children when they have gotten into some kind of scrape), causing them to question Mr. Meredith's parenting skills and his suitability as a minister.For most of the book, only the Blythes know of the Meredith children's loyalty and kindness. They rescue an orphaned girl, Mary Vance, from starvation, and Una finds a home for her with Mrs. Marshall Elliott. When the children get into trouble, Faith sometimes tries to explain their behavior to the townsfolk, which generally causes an even bigger scandal.The Merediths, Blythes, and Mary Vance often play in a hollow called Rainbow Valley, which becomes a gathering place for the children in the book. Jem Blythe tries to help the Merediths behave better by forming the "Good-Conduct Club," in which the Merediths punish themselves for misdeeds. Their self-imposed punishments lead to Carl becoming very ill with pneumonia after spending hours in a graveyard on a wet night, and to Una fainting in church after fasting all day.

Lucy Maud Montgomery fue una periodista y novelista canadiense, especialmente reconocida por las novelas de _Ana de las Tejas Verdes_. Su madre murió cuando Lucy tenía veintiún meses y su padre se marchó a hacer fortuna y la dejó a cargo de sus abuelos, lo cual sin duda influyó en la futura creación de su personaje más popular. Después de trabajar de maestra, comenzó a colaborar en periódicos locales y fue entonces cuando creó el personaje que cambiaría su vida. Ana de las Tejas Verdes cuenta la historia de dos hermanos, dueños de la granja Tejas Verdes, que deciden adoptar a un niño huérfano pero que, debido a una serie de malentendidos, en lugar de un niño reciben a una niña pelirroja, pálida y llena de pecas que con su alegría y desbordante imaginación cambiará la vida de todo el pueblo. Montgomery narra con mano maestra las experiencias de una niña en un entorno rural. Aunque en un principio, las aventuras de Ana no estaban destinadas a un público en concreto, en las últimas décadas, el libro se ha convertido en un clásico de la literatura infantil.
