Apart from loving this book and series, when Karen Savage reads it, she livens and brightens the whole thing up even more! She is one of our favorites readers!

Thank you Karen Savage

In the past months I listened to all the previous books in the series, read by Karen Savage. From the first book you can hear how her reading and the quality of her recording improved (at the very beginning she was reading a liiittle too fast, but it was still perfect to impersonate little Anne, and you could hear some noises or other light disturbances). Now I can easily say her reading has become perfect. And funny when it needs to be. Never monotonous. She changes her voice according to who's speaking, you can tell exactly who's talking just by her voice. She's that good! Seriously, I haven't enjoyed an audiobook series so much since listening to Harry Potter read by Stephen Fry (and you do have to spend a nice lot of money for that). So thank you, thank you, thank you dear Karen Savage, for all the hours of your time you donated to let us all enjoy this masterpiece in the best possibile way. I really hope you can read this, to know how much all your hard work was appreciated! Elisa

Reminiscent of Anne's childhood adventures

This book seems most similar to Anne of Green Gables in its fun innocent adventures and more lively than the books that have focused on Anne as an adult. Very well read by Karen Savage.

Excellent reading, good book

Lucy Maud Montgomery has written a series of really good books. Her characters are varied, interesting, and well-developed. She recognizes and affirms the innate differences between boys and girls, men and women. I appreciate her affirmation of the goodness of love between a man and woman and it’s expression in traditional marriage. Karen Savage’s reading of these books is superb. She does and differentiates the voices well. She is a joy to listen to.

Yet another epic story told with just the right amount of flair and flavour Karen Savage is known for. Thanks once again. I am so glad I found this narrator! She really transports you into the world of the clharacters, especially the little Marjorie and Blithe children and their families. I feel as though I am friends with Joseph now too ☺️

An alpha reading of beta narrative material.

Excellent reading by Ms Savage. Not the strongest book in the series, feeling rather predictable and formulaic, but relatively inoffensive, and even charming in places. I can't fault the reading though. Engaging and passionate without ever becoming cloying or descending into schmultz.

Read so beautifully. I enjoyed this story very much , it takes me away to a different place and time. It has moved on from the Anne of green gables stories and it focuses on Anne and Gilbert's children and the characters that live in Rainbow Valley, but I still miss Anne and her innocent childhood days with her bosom friend diana. Thank you reader for bringing the characters to life. . Jackie of Ashford, Kent, UK

Karen Savage is the best reader of the Anne of Green Gables books, and her Rainbow Valley was worth waiting for. The story is great, being one of the two in the series in which Anne is not the protagonist, and therefore a bit wider in scope. It also has some real well-rounded grownup characters.
