Join us as we explore Anne Shirley's imaginative escapade inspired by Tennyson's "Elaine." With her friends Diana, Ruby, and Jane, Anne orchestrates a dramatic re-enactment on Barry's Pond, casting herself as the tragic lily maid. However, in true Anne fashion, the romantic adventure takes an unexpected turn when the makeshift barge begins to leak, throwing Anne into a precarious situation that tests her courage and quick thinking.

This chapter brilliantly underscores Anne’s relentless pursuit of romance and adventure, often leading to unforeseen consequences, and highlights her enduring spirit and resilience. Don't miss this episode as we unravel themes of friendship, forgiveness, and the wavering line between fantasy and reality in Anne's vibrant life.
