Anne of Green Gables

De: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrado por: Arika Escalona

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.

My all-time favorite book!

I've been reading this book since I was a child, and have read it (or now listened to it) once every few years.

Classic Anne

Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of Green Gables to be better than the print version?

As a grad student, I don't have much time to dedicate to pleasure reading. There's no better way to fall asleep than by listening to audio books of familiar stories! This rendition of Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful addition to my audio book collection.

great book

loved this book. the narrative was great and I will be downloading the whole series

Always a favorite!

Anne of Green Gables has always been a favorite story of mine since childhood. I revisit it often. Something about this book always makes me feel comforted.

The narrator is not my favorite, and perhaps that is because I have heard a different narrator do a marvelous job. But even so, it did not take much away from the listening experience.

Very Enjoyable!

I love the complete series of Anne books. The movies with Megan Follows were a delight. This narration is well done and very easy to listen to - especially as background audio for data entry work! The variation in the narrator's voice for different characters was entertaining yet realistic. It was easy to "envision" the events as I remember them in the movie series. I definitely would recommend this for anyone who loves the Anne of Green Gables series!

Great story, classic I have always loved

What did you like best about Anne of Green Gables? What did you like least?

I love the characters and the honesty of the story. It is as it was in the past when children were disposable but Anne brings love and light where ever she goes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Matthew and Anne and their relantionship.

What three words best describe Arika Escalona’s performance?

Not quiet right

Do you think Anne of Green Gables needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

It has many sequels.

great story and narratiin

Audio production has some issues. A deep bass hum in the background of some chapters.

Such a classic.

Love this. Brought me back to when my mom read it to me as a child. I love Anne's imagination and feisty character. Such a sweet coming of age story.

Love the simplicity

Even as an old lady I enjoyed listening to one of my favorites. The narrators pleasant voice brought forth a real vision of Green Gables and Ann's adventures. Made me feel young again

Sweet, fun story

My kids and I loved listening. The reader had a wonderful voice and made the characters come alive, which is quite important when listening to a book with children ( ages 11,9,8). Even my son, who is “all boy”, said , “ I liked it more than I didn’t like it” ;).
