Tonight, we’ll read the 26th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “The Story Club is Formed”

In the previous chapter, Matthew realizes that Anne is dressed more plainly than her peers and secretly sets out to buy her a beautiful new dress for Christmas. After an awkward attempt at shopping, he enlists Mrs. Lynde’s help to pick out a fashionable dress with the puffed sleeves Anne has long admired. On Christmas morning, Anne is overwhelmed with joy at the gift, and later, she dazzles at the school concert, where she delivers a moving recitation. That night, as Matthew and Marilla reflect on Anne’s success, they begin to consider her future beyond Avonlea.
