Anne also appears and is mentioned in "Chronicles of Avonlea" and "Further Chronicles of Avonlea", though the bulk of the stories in these volumes are about other characters. In "The Blythes Are Quoted" (published in an abridged format as "The Road to Yesterday" and in a restored, unabridged edition in 2009), Anne is a peripheral character as a grandmother with several grandchildren, at least three of whom are preparing to enlist in the Canadian army during the opening days of World War II. These were among the last stories Montgomery wrote before her death in 1942.
