Anne of Avonlea continues the story of Anne Shirley (Kim Braden) the heroine of Anne of Green Gables as she begins her job as a schoolteacher and faces a whole new set of challenges...

New adventures lie in store as a bright and ambitious Anne prepares to begin teaching in the local school and joins Diana Barry, Gilbert Blythe, Charlie Sloan, Fred Wright and their other former schoolmates on the newly formed Village Improvement Society in Avonlea. Life at Green Gables takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of two new orphans and, so it seems, the end of Anne's dreams of attending college. Will she have to learn what she can of life and love in Avonlea or are there yet more conflicts and changes in store as she leaves her girlhood days behind?
