Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic children’s novel, Anne of Green Gables tells the story of a red headed orphan girl with a personality you can’t help but love. Despite her “tragical” past, Anne’s optimism and imagination have helped her to always see the best in things. Anne’s life changes considerably when she is accidentally adopted by the Cuthberts, a brother and sister who thought they were getting a boy to help out on the farm. The Cuthberts decide Anne will have to be sent back to the orphange but before they know it, she has begun to work her way into their hearts. (Summary by Annie Coleman) (10 hr 30 min)

(5 stars)

This was such a delight to have read to me. As a younger women I have had so many people insist that I read this. Now in my adulthood I am so delighted to have had these lovely volunteers read this imaginative story to me.

This is the original Librivox recording of Anne of Green Gables. It was completed in 2006 and is done as a collaborative project. All of the sections are well done and the listener will hear readings by several pillars of the Librivox community, including Kara Schallenberg, Betsy Bush and Annie Coleman. As of August 2010, Librivox has 5 different versions of Anne of Green Gables, including solo projects by Rachelellen (version 2 at http://www.archive.org/details/anne_of_green_gables_2_librivox), Karen Savage (version 3 at http://www.archive.org/details/anne_green_gables_librivox) and Annie Coleman (version 4 at http://www.archive.org/details/anne_gables_0808). Version 5 is another group project completed in 2009. So there are plenty of listening options to this wonderful coming of age tale!

I loved this book as a child and was excited to listen as an adult. Some of the readers I liked but others not so much. One reader gave the characters some funny accents that didn't fit the setting. Also there were quite a few mispronounced words, "elliquit" instead of "etiquette", etc. I would try a different version as there are many for this title.

the only thing I didn't like was some of the readers weren't as

I've read this series myself but to have them so raptly read is a terrible delight. Thank you to Libravox and to the volunteers for providing this experience..

Some excellent readers, some mediocre


(3 stars)

Annie Rothenberg is outstanding! Maybe I am too picky with others, but the tone of a person should sound different if they are speaking sternly, sarcastically, or wistfully - on some chapters they all sound the same. In a couple of chapters I skipped listening for several minutes because I found the reading irritating - Marilla speaking with a southern accent?!
