Biography:

Annie is highly dedicated to her studies. Each day she writes about her favourite classes, her teachers, and her love for the history of architecture. Anne enjoys finding new books at the local library and discussing them with her best friend, Miss. Driffel. While she occasionally laments that her schoolwork keeps her “stuck inside while Miss. Driffel is out to quilting bees,” Anne does find time to attend family parties and “tea-gatherings” at her local church.
