Why this must be read: I had wanted to save this one as the final rec, but I find that I no longer resist the urge to share it with y'all.
Marna wrote a series of letters between the various characters that appear in Anne's story in the novels Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside, set just prior to and during the early days of World War II. This is an incredible feat - Marna keeps each character as recognizable as possible, and moves through the time with ease. It reads a lot like Anne of Windy Poplars, but deeper, more real.
"The Pen and the Sword" is a beautiful and realistic portrayal of a wretched time in Canadian (and world) history, and Marna shows amazing skill in weaving the familiar world of the Anne books with her knowledge of Canadian history.
