Rilla of Ingleside

nne Blythe’s youngest high-spirited daughter, 15-year-old Rilla, captures in her diary, the poignant story of how WWI affected the lives of the people of Glen St Mary, Canada. The premonition of Walter, Rilla’s brother-of the Piped Piper coming down the rainbow valley with a shadowy host behind him, came true, when news of the war was announced. Soon, every able-bodied man-young and old volunteered. How many would return?

“Walter died for Canada-I must live for her. That is what he asked me to do.” Rilla wrote in her diary.

Will Rilla keep her promise not to kiss another man until Kenneth Ford returns from war? How long and why did Dog Monday wait at Glen railway station,

refusing to return to Ingleside? Whose dirge was he howling?
