(4.5 stars; 107 reviews)

Anne Shirley is grown up and married, and her six children are off having their own adventures with the Merediths - the four children of a widowed, absent-minded minister. Whether they're hiding a runaway home girl and plotting to save her from the orphanage or organizing a day of fasting to punish themselves for singing an awful song in the graveyard, their adventures and misadventures make this seventh Anne novel a different, but still delightful, story.

Reviews


(5 stars)

A lovely rendition with a diverse cast of readers. I especially liked the voices of Susan, Cornelia, Norman, the minister, Mary Vance, Faith Rosemaryand Ellen. I found the reading of Una slow and too deliberate. it didn't fit in with the rest. Overall a very pleasant dramatic reading. Thank you to all who worked hard on this.

A Lovely, Feel-Good Story


(5 stars)

I love this audiobook!!! The children are entertaining and the love story is so touching. The readers for Mary Vance and Mr. Meredith are probably my favorites. I disagree with the above negative comments about Una’s dialogue — I think the reader captured her innocence and sensitivity, and it’s understandable if there weren’t enough child voice actors to go around.


(5 stars)

The Anne books are the dearest and sweetest stories. I would like them to go on and on. The drama team are amazing and bring the books to life. Thank you for your talents.

Enters the next generation

Hard to move away from Anne. more about other kids then her own. voice of Gilbert too different after 3 reads. Anxious to see what's next.
