An airy idyll awaits within the pages of Victoria’s July/August issue. Inspired by L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, our latest issue celebrates the halcyon days of summer with stories steeped in pastoral beauty and the simple pleasures of this languid season. Find romantic fashions to thrill the heart of our favorite fiery-haired heroine and a bevy of recipes bursting with the sweetness of raspberries. Bask in the distinctive allure of Prince Edward Island’s red sandstone cliffs, windswept beaches, and charming villages that provide the backdrop for Anne Shirley’s imaginary adventures. Rounding out the delights, a curated collection of books—from former Writers-in-Residence, our current Lady-in-Residence, and a longtime reader of Victoria—provides a sweet escape for afternoons when the porch swing beckons.
