Hi, everyone. This is John Hagadorn, host of 1001 Stories Network. I have a big announcement for you.

1001 Stories from the Gilded Age, one of our 12 podcasts, will now be offering the third story in the well-known

Anne of Green Gables series, this one called Anne of the Island. And these will be expertly narrated by

Giselle Erickson, with new chapters

every Sunday and Wednesday at noon Eastern Time, and a new short story every Friday at noon

Eastern Time. So, three fresh, dramatic stories, all at 1001 stories from the Gilded Age. The Gilded

Age, which I define as stories written between 1870 and 1929, for the most part,

the Golden Age for Literature and Storytelling.

I'm placing all the links you need in the show notes for you here.

But if you're not following 1001 stories from the Gilded Age, you're missing some of the best

classic stories ever written. Many romance and adventure, you're missing some of the best classic stories

ever written. Many romance and adventure classics and a treasure trove of very talented women

authors as well. The Anne series sold over 50 million copies worldwide, and they still sell

well today. Anne of the Island, her name Anne Shirley,

at 18 years old in this story, leaves her longtime home at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island

to pursue a degree at Redmond College in Kingport, Nova Scotia. It might sound familiar with many of you,

now watching sons and daughters heading for college this August.

There she'll be sharing a cozy cottage with her friend Priscilla Grant and a girl named Philippa Gordon.

Join narrator Giselle Erickson as she shares Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic story of Anne's Joy's and Hardsips in college at 1001 stories from the Gilded Age.

Give us a try and thanks for listening.
