Anne of Green Gables

By: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables is one of the best loved Canadian books of all time. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, middle-aged brother & sister, live together at Green Gables, their farm on Prince Edward Island. They decide to adopt a boy from an orphanage in Nova Scotia to help out on the farm. Through a series of mishaps, the child that arrives at their door is not a boy, but Anne Shirley, a precocious 11 year old girl! Anne is bright, quick, and eager to please, but dissatisfied with her name, her pale countenance dotted with freckles, and her long braids of red hair. Anne takes much joy in life, and adapts quickly, thriving in the environment of Prince Edward Island.

excellent read of a classic

the vocal inflections of the reader were impeccable and the story is an unmatched tale of coming of age

A wonderful gem of a story with great naration.

Despite being a "middle-aged" woman, I enjoyed this delightful tale of Anne and her her unfailing optimism.

makes me want to go back to PEI

lovely story. very descriptive. good narration. could do without music interlude between every chapter. redundant

Loved it!

My 10 year old and I listened to this while driving and cleaning and it kept us entertained, amused, and interested. We loved the story, the characters, and the narration. Well worth the price.

Quaint, cute, engaging & tender

Giving a tougher review than an all round 5* proved impossible!

Anne of Green Gables is an old fashioned 'butter wouldn't melt in your mouth' classic filled with sweet sentiments and conjuring up a very comforting vision of days gone by... And even if those days are slightly Disneyfied peachy perfect who cares :)

The facts: A story about a slightly peculiar yet delightful orphan girl who gets adopted 'by mistake' by an aging brother and sister. Anne melts their hearts in the process of growing up and exceeds their, and her own, expectations - via a number of amusing scrapes and mishaps.

In a word, charming!
