Canada at the end of the 19th century... Eighteen-year-old rural teacher, “Anya of Avonlea,” becomes “Anya of Prince Edward Island,” a university student. Exciting academic competition, friendship, fun activities, ever expanding horizons and new interests - there is so much in the world that you can admire and rejoice at! University experience teaches one to look upon every obstacle as an omen of victory, and to regard humor as the most savory spice in the feast of existence. But the girl’s dreams of the mystery of love are about to be tested by reality: a meeting with the “dark-eyed ideal” almost leads to Anya mistaking her superficial infatuation, embellished by the imagination, for love. And she will be able to avoid mistakes. The words of recognition have been spoken, and although the lovers face a three-year wait, they will be happy, waiting, working and dreaming.
