About this listen

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.

Amazing story with bundles of humour

Over all, this story was very descriptive and told me what teenagers used to do instead of university. The author had good expression for speech. I would love to listen to Anne of Avonly.

Any additional comments?
I have 2 books narrated by Mary Sarah and though she's not bad her phrasing is very odd. You are constantly aware of the narrator. I bought this book as it was cheap and I loved it as a child - I still have the complete 'real' collection!- and did enjoy it.

A favourite childhood book

The reader is quite good, apart from whenever she comes across a word that she doesn't know the meaning of, in which case she simply uses a word she is familiar with but which means something completely different (one example is replacing "deprecatingly" with "depreciatingly"), or when she sometimes misconstrues the context and enunciates sentences wrongly - but otherwise, she does an excellent job.

What made the experience of listening to Anne of Green Gables the most enjoyable?

I loved the narrator and her clear pronunciation of words. She put expression and tone into the reading and seemed to sympathise with Anne.

What other book might you compare Anne of Green Gables to, and why?

Traditional classics of that era where there are morals to be learned throughout the book.

What about Mary Sarah’s performance did you like?

Style of reading, clear diction, good orator.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Anne pleading with apologies - funny :)

A true classic which is a delight to listen to

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I'd recommend this to anyone. Its just a lovely, warm and funny story, well told. It made me laugh and smile and it just gave me that feel good glow. I was also crying at the end, as I drove my lorry around. Very cathartic! It makes you want to escape from this mad world to a simpler, slower time, when people cared for their neighbours and family.

What did you like best about this story?

Its got to be the ginger, chatterbox herself.

What about Mary Sarah’s performance did you like?

A good performance. With a nice range of voices for the many characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's highly addictive. I'd downloaded Anne of Avonlea before I was halfway through listening to this.

Any additional comments?

Well worth a listen. I would recommend it to anyone.

A tonic to a fast, hard, uncaring modern world.
