Even then, the best way to experience the island I read about in Maud Hart Lovelace's "Anne" books was to get away from the major cities and tourist attractions. I remember walking though the "Haunted Woods" and stumbling out onto a golf course! But getting away to places like West Point or little isolated towns gave me the very real feeling of being where "Anne" and Maud herself lived and worked...and of the PEI they loved. Some of our favorite PEI memories were staying at the lighthouse inn at West Point and attending a ceilidh (Celtic "house party" with singing, fiddling and dancing) We went to PEI just before they built the Confederation Bridge.
