    About this audiobook

    Eleven-year-old orphan Anne Shirley has red hair, a vivid imagination and cannot stop talking. Quite a shock for old Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert who wanted a boy to help them on the farm… Anne is soon the talk of the town with her funny ways and endless adventures, but it is not long before she has won the hearts of everyone. This classic story is set in Canada at the beginning of the twentieth century and is one of the most enduring favourites of children’s literature.

    Lucy Maud Montgomery

    Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 1874 and raised by her maternal grandparents following her mother's death when she was just two years old. Biographical accounts of her upbringing suggest a strict and rather lonely childhood. She later spent a number of years working as a teacher before turning to journalism and then, ultimately to fiction writing. While Anne of Green Gables was completed in 1905 Montgomery was at first unable to find a publisher for it and - having set it aside for a while - eventually found a champion for it in the Page Company of Boston. Her first novel - and the one which was to prove by far her most successful - was published in 1908 and has remained in print the world over ever since. In creating the uniquely memorable Anne, Montgomery gave the world of classic fiction one of its most enduring heroines.

      I did not read these, or see the show, as a child. I enjoyed this book. It is a slow book without lots of action, but, it has endearing characters. I immediately fell for Matthew, who becomes one of Anne's guardians. I very much enjoyed the pace in the final quarter of the book. I have watched maybe three episodes of the new Netflix series and have mostly enjoyed it, though they have taken some liberties.

      [Re-read 2013]
      Still love this just as much as ever!

      Alas, the cover has come off my old much-read copy now. Time to buy a new edition?

      In this 100-year-old childhood classic, vivacious, imaginative orphan Anne (with an "e") Shirley has comical misadventures and charms everyone on St. Edward Island. This novel has its sweet, nostalgic moments, but, all in all, I found it a little overlong and cloying, kind of like drinking three large tumblers of raspberry cordial.
    • 5/5
      This is a truly wonderful book. Not a high-adventure, thriller, or any of that sort. Just a sweet coming-of-age story in the world of 100 years ago! I think what's especially amazing about this book is that it not only gives us a glimpse of what life was like back then, but it so purely captures both the daily life and challenges as well as the thoughts and manners of the population.I didn't know what to expect in starting this book, but little Anne certainly grew on me and I did indeed feel a kinship with her spirit and dreams of creativity. I definitely look forward to reading the next volume!
    • 5/5
      I love Anne of Green Gables it is one of those classic books that despite its setting and characters it is still a story that young readers can relate to. Throughout this book and the series it shows various kinds of families, beyond the typical nuclear family. Anne is such a headstrong girl, who means well but has a tendency to get into scrapes. I think that the problems that Anne faces are similar to the problems that young girls still face today.

      L.M. Montgomery was an amazing writer. I have always loved the Anne books and was happy to read it all over again. Anne of Green Gables is a fabulous book for all ages!

      "Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.”So yesterday was full of fabulous. I pretty much spent the day listening to Anne of Green Gables, narrated by Rachel McAdams, and it was delightful. I somehow missed this one in my younger days, and I loved it. McAdams delivery was perfect - I think Anne might have gotten on my nerves a bit if I had read this one in print, but the audio was lovely. Definitely one I will listen to again, and it made me tear up in a few places.

      1st in series.Anne is adopted by mistake. What a terrible thing to realize. How much love Anne had to simply 'imagine" prior to that event. Yet what a wonderful book to explore this darker side to some young lives. It is easy to become nostalgic for what probably never was, but even still this is a wonderful book for pre-teens to read. I wonder how it was it was not available to me?!
    • 5/5
      I loved the TV series with Megan Follows, Colleen Dewhurst and Richard Farnsworth...they will always be how I see their respective characters. But the book, oh the book! It far surpasses the series as good books always will. Twain's comment quoted in the blurb on LM Montgomery's life is so à propos "the sweetest creation of child life yet written". How can you gainsay the creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn? Especially when you agree whole-heartedly with him? Montgomery uses simple techniques to delight the reader. Such as when Anne is taken unwillingly to apologize to Mrs. Lynde and Marilla notices a change in Anne's attitude "Anne had no business looking rapt and radiant. Rapt and radiant Anne continued until they were in the very presence of Mrs. Lynde..." The repetition of "rapt and radiant" sets you up for one of the many delightful moments in the book.As I chew my cud about the story now, I wonder to what extent one can insert the author into the characters that she so brilliantly portrays. Is one to see her in Anne or Marilla or perhaps the minister's wife or maybe a little in all of them? Be that as it may, this 58 year old man found Anne of Green Gables to be a highlight of not just his summer, but of his life!The uses one might put to this book seem endless: text for a primary aged class, text for a creative writing group, part of a course in Canadian Children's Literature, one could use it as a challenging piece of enrichment for teaching of English as a Second Language, and of course, one could use it as I did, just for the sheer pleasure of reading. I think of using it too similarly to how it was originally parcelled out as a serial Sunday School paper. Thus one can teach morals, human relationships, Christian theology or other such technical matters. And, I would hope to one day be able to read it as a bedtime story to my (hoped for) grandchildren.If you have never read Anne of Green Gables, do yourself a favor and spend some of the most delightful hours you will ever spend with a book.

      I have loved the TV series, Anne With an E, the latest TV version of Anne of Green Gables. I'm not sure how I missed this series when I was a child, but I know I would have loved it then. Charming, sweet, and enjoyable!
    • 5/5
      I hadn't read this classic since I was a little girl and it was soo nice to revisit it. I forgot how charming Anne is and how happy her antics made me. As an adult I realize there isn't much of a plot, each chapter is a short story on some mischief or excitement that Anne gets up to, but honestly that makes it all the more charming. I am definitely inspired to read more of the series (I've only ever read the first one!) and to rewatch the show, although from what I hear I may need to avoid the new Netflix original. All in all a great re-read. It definitely holds up :)

      When I told my mom that I had decided to start reading Anne of Green Gables the other week she said, ?You haven?t read that yet?? ?What? I saw the movie,? I replied. But when I finished this book the other day, the first thing I told my fiance was, ?I can?t believe I hadn?t read this!?I had always liked the movie, and whenever PBS aired it I would automatically tune in to watch, no matter how late I came into it. As a kid, I never realized there was already a book about Anne Shirley, and as I grew older I looked for new stories, instead of reliving ones I already knew. However, now that I?ve read the first in the Anne (spelled with an ?e?) series, I know I?ll have to read them all. There are two things that have hooked me to these novels: Anne?s undying and unsurpassed spirit, and the language that flows through the pages and sticks in my head. I?ve found myself thinking in Anne?s terms, using ?big words? and colorful adjectives, and dreaming about beautiful places.Lucky for Anne, however, she didn?t have to use her imagination to dream up nature at its finest (although should could have without even trying). Prince Edward?s Island, the setting of Avonlea and our story, is described as one of the most beautiful places I can imagine; trees blossom around every corner and flowery scents pervade the air. Of course, Anne grew up in the early 1900s, and that is probably one of the reasons L.M. Montgomery could describe such beauty. Had she tried to place Anne in a new home today, the poor girl would have had to use a whole lot more imagination. This story really made me look around our city and realize that nature is basically what we have in between the strip malls and highways. We have just enough trees to give us a little bit of color, but nothing that would make you stop and take notice, just for its beauty. It makes me want to take a long vacation in some remote part of the world that?s been untouched by human hands.Anne of Green Gables tells the story of an orphan who is adopted (unwillingly at first) by an older brother and sister who want help on their farm. Anne is nothing short of a surprise on all accounts, from her red hair (and temper to match) to her constant story-tellings and imaginings. She isn?t the dependable boy the Cuthberts had planned on adopting, but Anne?s vivacity and gratitude for the home she never thought she?d have win over not just her benefactors, but the entire town. Anne is unlike anyone in Avonlea has ever met, and this not only causes her to get into a few scrapes, but catapults her into their hearts. It doesn?t matter if you?re 12 or 50, Anne?s spirit will win you over, and the language Montgomery uses will transport you into her world.5 out of 5 stars for being one of the best books I have read in a long time, and for making me want to read it again and again in the years to come.
    • 5/5
      I count this as one of the most important books of my childhood, and as an adult I think I got even more out of it.
      The relationship between Anne and Diana is something I don't think I understood 100% as a child, however I remember it breaking my heart into a thousand little pieces. Looking back I understand that there was something inside of me screaming when they were torn apart. There was something there that I didn't understand, and yet somewhere inside of me, I got it. It resonated. It's heartbreaking, really. But it is beautiful. This book will always be a part of me.
    • 5/5
      One of my all time favorites. When I was in third grade and home from school sick in bed, my mother read to me the copy she had as a child. I got better and finished it off and the rest of the Anne books which I found in the public library in the adult section. I have read the book numerous times and have given copies as gifts. All three of my daughters have read and reread this. No girl in the English speaking world should grow up without coming to know Anne of Green Gables.
    • 4/5
      It is undeniable that this is a timeless classic for all ages! Although I should have read this some many years ago, I was simply enchanted by Anne's adventures and felt as transported by her tales as if I were a teen again. The descriptions of Avonlea, Anne's bubbly enthusiasm and her dreamy disposition, Marilla's no-nonsense approach, Matthew's shyness and all of Avonlea's cast of characters do make this an unforgettable book which endures through the generations. I can't wait to introduce Anne to my daughter who, more than a hundred years later, feels and acts the same way as that little orphan child! A real delight!

    • 5/5
      Anne of Green Gables is one of my all-time favorite books! I'm re-visiting some old classics from my youth this summer, and L.M. Montgomery's beautiful series about the "Anne girl" is at the top of my list. The story is well-known and loved - purely by mistake, plucky orphan Anne Shirley comes to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. They wanted a boy to help with the farm work, but what they got was a charmingly verbose little girl who quickly makes a place for herself in their lives. Anne gets into so much trouble that it would be nearly impossible to chronicle in a review without retelling the whole story, so suffice it to say that she is definitely the queen of the caper! Anne Shirley is wonderfully relatable - she is a smart and creative girl, full of spirit and amazingly introspective for someone her age. Anne is a unique and entertaining character in a novel full of interesting characters - I want to be Anne Shirley when I grow up! From Marilla and Matthew to their curmudgeonly neighbor Rachel Lynde, Montgomery created a fascinating cast of characters that are impossible to forget. L.M. Montgomery crafted a true masterpiece with Anne of Green Gables. The story is timeless and the setting is meticulously illustrated with a graceful use of words and phrases. The writing is simply delightful - there is true magic between the covers of this book!"Mrs Rachel Lynde lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops, and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet, well-constructed little stream, for not even a brook could run past Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof."Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I rest my case - Montgomery's own words are the only ones that do the story justice. Pick-up Anne of Green Gables immediately if not sooner for a real adventure!
    • 4/5
      A reread of this childhood classic. Anne is an orphan, adopted by a brother and sister on Prince Edward Island. They really wanted a boy to help on the farm, but when Matthew brought home chatterbox Anne, he was smitten and convinced Marilla to keep her, with delightfully changed lives all around!
    • 3/5

      Six out of ten.

      The Cuthberts of Green Gables had decided to adopt an orphan -- a nice sturdy boy to help Matthew with the farm chores. The orphanage sent a girl instead -- a mischievous, talkative redhead who'd be no use at all. She would just have to go back.

    • 3/5
      I think if I would have read this as a young person, I would have liked it even more. I thought the pacing was a bit strange--in the earlier chapters, things moved very slowly but later months would pass during one chapter. It felt like Montgomery had clearly intended the book to be the first in a series, so I was confused as to why she felt the need to rush the end.
    • 4/5
      Summary: Middle-aged Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla meant to adopt a boy to help them around their farm, so they were rather surprised when the 11-year-old red-headed Anne Shirley shows up on their doorstop instead. Anne immediately loves the little house at Green Gables, and wants more than anything for it to be home, and for Matthew and Marilla to be her family. But what are the two of them going to do with an imaginative, talkative, and boisterous young girl? And how will Anne fit in with Matthew and Marilla, not to mention in school, and in town, when her lively spirit leads her to get into more scrapes and adventures than is entirely proper for a young woman in the early 1900s?Review: This was always a book that I thought I had read in childhood. I owned a copy (still do, at my parents' house), and I would have sworn up and down to you that I'd read it. But when my book club selected it and I started listening to it, it turns out that if I had ever read it before, then ALL of the details had completely abandoned me in the intervening years, much worse than is usually the case with my terrible memory. So I don't think I'd ever read it as a child (I probably never got past that first sentence, damn!), and this review is therefore from the perspective of someone reading it for the first time in her mid-30s. And while I enjoyed it, it didn't bowl me over, although I can certainly see how if I'd encountered this book as a kid I would have loved it - Anne gets into plenty of scrapes and adventures, and it's funny and charming and just old-fashioned enough that my 10-year-old self would have eaten it up.I couldn't help but compare it to my actual favorite book from childhood, A Little Princess. Both are about imaginative, kind, plucky orphans, but while Sara Crewe is largely defined by her self-contained nature, Anne is much more of an extrovert. And I think this explains whatever difference in my reactions to the two books can't be explained by the ages at which I read them. I recognized a lot of my own introverted ways in A Little Princess, whereas I am nothing like Anne Shirley, and her constant blathering actually started to wear on my nerves more than once. (I'm firmly in Marila's camp on this one - maybe because I listened to the audiobook, but ye gods, girl, pipe down for ten seconds, please?) I also found the structure kind of strange. The book takes place over a substantially longer time span than I was expecting. Anne goes from 11 to 18 (or so) over the course of the book, but most of the book is told in a very episodic fashion focusing on her varied misadventures. As a result, time moves somewhat unevenly throughout the course of the book, and the latter sections, when Anne is older and a little more mature, seems a little at odds with the earlier, funnier sections when she was a kid. I also found some of the foreshadowing to be rather unsubtle (maybe not surprising; it is a book for kids, after all), but I also simultaneously found the ending to be rather abrupt in some ways. Overall, though, I had a fun time listening to this book, and I can see why it's a children's classic, even if I read it 25 years too late for it to be a personal favorite. 4 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: If this *was* a childhood favorite for you, you're probably already lining up with pitchforks to tell me why I'm wrong for not loving it. If you didn't get to it in childhood, give it to your kids, and maybe dive into it yourself when you're needing something charming and cute.

      I mean, how do I review Anne of Green Gables? A beautifully sweet story about a red-headed orphan that has become such a staple in Canadian literature and that I grew up loving as a child in the Great White North. I simply cannot.However, I can say that returning to this book has given me a sense of familiar comfort that was desperately needed this fall. I can also say that Rachel McAdams' narration was a joy to listen to; her voice fitted perfectly with the overall vibe of the text.Essentially, I am incredibly pleased with this audiobook and am entirely confident that I will be listening to it multiple times over.
    • 5/5
      An absolute classic of all time. I read it over and over again as a child and recently read it with my ten-year-old daughter who enjoyed it too. Reading it as an adult I particularly admired the way the passage of time was handled, and the way that Anne matures as a character as the book goes on.
    • 5/5
      This was one of my favorite books as a child. I fell in love with Anne (make sure you spell it "Anne with an e!") right from the beginning, and enjoyed reading about each and every one of her antics. I was greatly surprised when I learned that there was an entire series devoted to her, and I read them all time and time again as a youngster.
    • 5/5
      It’s funny how books that captured your imagination as a child are so very different for you as an adult. I’m not saying Anne of Green Gables was a bad read as an adult but it was so much different than I remember it being. For instance, I don’t remember Anne talking so much. Really, she never shuts up! It’s so endearing though and you come to quickly understand why Matthew and Marilla fell in love with this red-haired orphan. I also remembered the decision as to whether or not Anne would stay was much more drawn out but that could have been how I perceived it as a child. I keep saying as a child because I think the last time I read this book was probably when I was 10. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, brother and sister who live on the Green Gables farm in Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, decide to adopt a boy to help out with the farm work since Matthew is getting up in age. Arrangements are made and Matthew leaves to pick up the boy at the train station. He comes home with a red-haired girl who won’t stop talking. Marilla wants to send her back but Matthew has already become attached and sort of nudges Marilla to think about keeping her. Anne, even with her loquacious ways, manages to charm Marilla who decides she can stay. Anne is enchanted with her new home, a new friend, and even her new school. However, she’s not always the proper little girl she should be and gets into several incidents that somehow all manage to work themselves out for the best.Anne of Green Gables is such a sweet book and pretty funny too. There’s not much that happens in Avonlea that doesn’t get back to Marilla, and Anne, who it must be said is not a bad child in the least, is always doing something that gets talked about. One day it’s flowers in her bonnet, telling ghost stories with her dear friend Diana, or cracking Gilbert Blythe over the head with her writing slate --- Marilla hears about it. That’s small town living for you.Reading this as an adult, I found it a lot funnier than I did as a child. At 10 years-old, Anne was a bit of hero. She was courageous and she stood up for herself. She was a person with guts and she was really smart. I loved all that about her as a child. As an adult, I can see how everything she did was vexing to every adult in her vicinity but it’s also so easy to see how everyone could love her. The kindness and caring stand out to me now but I don’t think I saw that as a child. Now, I’m also amused by the nosy neighbors, the teacher who’s in love with the student, and how parenting styles differ among the women in the story. I’m not saying that to be sexist, but it’s the women in this story that talk about it, not the men. I’m glad I went back to this as an adult. My appreciation for it is different but all together much the same. Anne of Green Gables will always be a favorite of mine.

      Anne begins an adventure at Green Gables, outside of Prince Edwards Island. Siblings, Marilla and Matthew decided to adopt a young boy but by mistake they received Anne. At first Marilla wants Anne to return to the Orphanage but after a couple of days changes her mind. The book talks about Anne's past and her adventures in making a home. When Anne turns 16, she goes to an academy to get her teaching license where she gets her license in one year and wins a very important scholarship. The scholarship allows her to obtain her B.A. at another college. Towards the end of the book there is a series of unfortunate events that leads Anne to give away her scholarship and stay at home. Anne gets a teaching job not too far from home.

      Definitely an all-time favorite. The later Anne books tend toward the romantic, but this one is wonderfully silly, moving, and engaging.
