Anne of Avonlea

By: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrated by: Shelly Frasier

In the first sequel to Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Montgomery's feisty red-headed heroine is now 16 and a school teacher in the small village of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. Although older, she isn't necessarily wiser, and she hasn't outgrown her mischievous antics. She learns how complicated life can be when she takes two new orphans at Green Gables under her wings, meddles in someone else's love life, and learns about romance herself when she encounters the "odd behavior" of a very handsome man, Gilbert Blythe.©2004 Tantor Media, Inc.

Great book!

It was delightful , but not my favorite narrator. Annie is so joyful! 😊

Soft and fluffy

Just such pleasant little stories.
It’s a fun, casual listen. Helps your mind drift and catch romantic fancies.

Delightful

i so enjoyed every moment. I loved the narrator ! truly an inviting story to invest in.

Absolutely wonderful

Excellent narration! Such a lovely voice telling the story! It captures Anne’s dreamy, hopeful personality perfectly!

A sweet continuation

if you enjoyed Anne of Green Gables you will definitely enjoy this continuation of the story. The reader is easy to listen to and does a good job.

Darling book!

Montgomery died a good job of painting a picture of a red-headed girl turning into a young woman.

number 2 is great too.

Almost as good as Anne of Greene Gables. That is saying alot. Few books come close to the character development and humor. Enjoy

A Book for the Whole Family

What made the experience of listening to Anne of Avonlea the most enjoyable?

Seeing Anne grow up into a school teacher and her interactions with Davey and Paul made this into a very enjoyable book for me. I think Dora was the weakest character as I had no idea why she was even there most of the time, but this is still a very strong book.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Besides Anne herself, my favorite character was Paul Irving. He was obviously taught to prize his own capacity for creative imagination, which is a valuable lesson for anyone.

What does Shelly Frasier bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Hearing the book read aloud made it much easier to understand and enjoy.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes the right teacher makes all the difference in the world.

Any additional comments?

I can easily see why this book has stood the test of time.

Narration is great!

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

Yes. Very wholesome relaxing uplifting read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of Avonlea?

Writing it here would spoil it for you

Which scene was your favorite?

When she makes a friend after the wrong turn

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed several times. It made me smile a lot.

Any additional comments?

I felt the need to review this because I almost didn't buy the Shelly Fraiser version after reading a couple of reviews here complaining about her voice, particularly with the children. Even with the seed planted I found nothing remotely irratating about her voices. Actually I thought they were quite good and allowed me to easily picture the child in my mind.
