Anne of Green Gables

By: Lucy Maude Montgomery

Narrated by: Mary Sarah

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, send for a boy orphan to help them out at the farm, they are in no way prepared for the error that will change their lives. The mistake takes the shape of Anne Shirley, a redheaded 11-year-old girl who can talk anyone under the table. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination quickly win over her reluctant foster parents. Anne's feisty spirit soon draws many friends—and much trouble—her way.

Montgomery wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies.

Sweetest Story Ever

Anne Shirley is one of the most endearing characters ever written. Her sweet optimism is so pure and refreshing in the ever darkening world we live in. The Green Gables story is full of goodness and friendship, love and true kindness. Montgomery expertly paints a lush landscape of tender beauty in every page. I've always loved the 1985 movie version with Megan Follows and can't wait to read this darling book to my children before we watch it together.

My favorite book narrated/read mostly well

A beautiful book, one of my very favorites (which of course makes me a bit biased by my imagination, so be sure to take that into consideration.)

The narrators accent and voice were perfect for the story, I couldn't stand the accents of several other narrators, but this accent sounded fitting, which makes it so much easier to get into the story. There are a few mispronunciations and mistakes, but that could be expected from such an affordable edition. However other than that, of you don't catch the little mistakes, it really is such an enjoyable performance. Definitely worth purchasing considering the price.

That being said, the narrator doesn't give much distinction to each characters voice, so on occasion it's a little challenging to understand who's speaking. This only happens occasionally, however. Lastly Anne (and a few other characters, on occasion) is a little forced. It's a little rigid, and more aggressive then you'd imagine. The narrator almost sounds stressed, and this often gives characters a clipped, less comfortable air, which is unfortunate considering the much treasured, homey comfort of the story.

A very refreshing old story which could. Be of great values in healing. Of. The. Youth and. Morals. In. This. Current. Century

Mary Sarah is Anne Shirley's voice

I loved the first two movies and know that the books are always said to be better but just couldn't get time to pick them up and begin. Mary Sarah brought Anne to life beautifully, and I love that I don't have to set aside time to visit Avonlea. I can listen as I'm cooking, cleaning, driving or nodding off to sleep.

So awesome

Dis be like so totally good I really enjoy it it is like so funnnnnnnnnnn
