Anne of Green Gables

De: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrado por: Shelly Frasier

When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables send for a boy orphan to help them out at their farm, they mistakenly get Anne Shirley, a feisty, independent but warm-hearted 11-year-old girl. Fortunately her sunny nature and quirky imagination win the hearts of her reluctant foster parents and everyone in the community. But not a day goes by without some memorable adventure or prank in the tragicomedy of her life. Early on she accidentally dyes her "cursed" red hair green. Later, in an effort to impress a neighbor, she bakes a cake, but with liniment instead of vanilla.

Lucy wrote that Anne is an extension of herself and represents the independent, "new" woman of the emerging 20th century. Individualistic, resourceful, and of a great humanitarian heart, she remains a great role model for girls and women today.

Loved it more than I thought I would

this book was very well written. Anne reminded me of a loved one. the author captured her spirit well.

Delightful change of pace

The narrator of this beautiful story is perfect. This is the type of story that will charm and delight you. You will come away with your senses aware of the passing seasons, the desire to set high ambitions and a new way of seeing the romance of the everyday. It's a lovely listen.

Just Like the Characters we Know and Love

This performance of Anne of Green Gables was equal to the story! I didn't go back and look to see when it was produced, (i.e. before or after the Megan Follows movies) but the reader seemed to reflect the voices and personalities of the actors in the movies. To me, that was a good thing, because I love the movie versions of Anne and did not have to adjust my thinking to get used to a new set of voices. Matthew and Marilla were especially well-read, but all of them were, really.

The story of Anne itself is a touching tale that makes me cry at least once every time I read / listen / watch it. Even the men of my household love this book!

Best Narration!

There are lots of audio versions of this book, but this one has the best narration of the them all! The characters really come to life with the way Shelly Frasier has performed them. Don’t pass this one up.

I love Anne of Green Gable

I love this story!!!!!!!!!!!!And Anne is awesome.When Anne was little, she was funny and peculiar .i wish I were as smart as her! Mrs Lucy you're a good writer!!😃🌷

Charming

I absolutely adored this reading of anne of green gables. it was like sharing one of my favourite childhood books with a friend. I thought the narrator was excellent- (the male characters voices pretty good which I have found difficult with other readers)- good characterisations, and the tone met the mood of the book beautifully.
Audible- when are you going to get Shelley Frazier's reading of Anne of Avonlea?!?!? PLEASE!

Magical and Beautiful

I've never gotten around to reading some of the classics and this series should be a MUST on your list. Anne captured my attention the very first time she spoke. She has wonderful, amazing adventures. For all she has been through, she is incredibly resiliant, wise as only child can be and finds beauty in everything around her. I have been captivated by her world, her strength, beauty, creativity, determiniation and work ethic. Its seems that she ignites and tranforms every person, object, written work and chore into something entirely differently than merely a bothersome or commonplace thing. Even her routines bring her and her reader, comfort. Never before have I read a series where I know for sure that will get all the way through it.
Unfortunately, I can't find, "Anne of Windy Poplars," the fourth book in the series, so I will have to buy that book and read it. It wouldn't be the same to miss an entire part of her life and just move on to the next book.

I'm in my late 30's and haven't experienced this kind of joy from a book in a very long time. What an incredible talent Lucy Maud Montgomey had for shaping life into to something uncommonly beautiful.

A MUST HAVE!!!

LOVED THIS AUDIOBOOK!!! I did love the Anne of Green Gable series as a child and have listened to all of the audiobooks available and can say without a doubt, the Shelly Frasier narration is the absolute best! Her voice brings into the story like none of the others does. Susan O'Malley's is good too, but again, this Shelly Frasier narration is the best of them all!

Shamelessly sappy.

It took me until my dotage to allow myself to read this story. The courageous red haired girl orphan wins the heart of an elderly woman and her brother. The pictures of life on Prince Edward Island in horse and buggy days, the acceptance of the girl into the small town and her new family, and the usual struggles of life provide a warm journey away from today's cares.

Fantastic read

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

yes because it is very entertaining and allows one to exercise their very own scope of imagination

What did you like best about this story?

I particularly enjoyed the underlying theme of the importance of making good choices.

What about Shelly Frasier’s performance did you like?

She brought life to each of the characters through illuminating their individual characteristics

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

absolutely
