Walter Cuthbert Blythe is a fictional character in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series of novels. He appears as a major character in three books; within the series chronology, they are Anne of Ingleside (book 6, published in 1939), Rainbow Valley (book 7, pub. 1919) and Rilla of Ingleside (book 8, pub. 1921). Walter appears briefly and is also frequently alluded to in the final volume of the series, The Blythes Are Quoted (book 9, completed in 1942 but not published until 2009), in which several of his poems are printed in full and discussed by members of his family.
