Five years after Anne Shirley came to the town of Avonlea, she feels (a little) more grown up, but she's still the same skinny, red-headed orphan Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert took in. After putting her dream of attending Redmond College on hold so she can help Marilla with the farm, Anne doubts she has many adventures ahead of her. But even in plain old Avonlea, her life proves to be anything but ordinary. This sequel to Anne of Green Gables follows Anne's endeavors to become a successful teacher, help raise a pair of rambunctious twins, and improve her beloved hometown-with the help of her former enemy, Gilbert Blythe, who's giving her an awful lot of attention...

Anne of Green Gables

A best-seller from the moment it was published, Anne of Green Gables is a joyful tale that is guaranteed to capture the hearts of today's young listeners. For over 75 years, this delightful story of a spirited, mischievous girl living in turn-of-the-century Canada has charmed girls around the world. As soon as Anne Shirley arrived at the snug, white farmhouse called Green Gables, she knew she wanted to stay forever... but would the Cuthberts send her back to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not what they expected -- a skinny girl with decidedly red hair and a temper to match. If only she could convince them to let her stay, she'd try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes or blurt out the very first thing she had to say. Anne was not like anybody else, everyone at Green Gables agreed; she was special -- a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreamed of the day when she could call herself Anne of Green Gables.

This audiobook includes a foreword by Margaret Atwood, author of The Handmaid’s Tale, celebrating the 100th anniversary of this children’s favorite! Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley has never known a real home. Since her parents' deaths, she's bounced around to foster homes and orphanages. When she is sent by mistake to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she wants to stay forever. But Anne is not the sturdy boy Matthew and Marilla were expecting. She's a mischievous, talkative redheaded girl with a fierce temper, who tumbles into one scrape after another. Anne is not like anybody else, the Cuthberts agree; she is special, a girl with an enormous imagination. All she's ever wanted is to belong somewhere. And the longer she stays at Green Gables, the harder it is for anyone to imagine life without her. "[Anne is] the dearest and most lovable child in fiction since the immortal Alice."—Mark Twain

COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Anne of Green Gables Of course, we've loved Anne-with-an-e and her adventures for a long time. We were first introduced to her through a mini-series on videotape, and we fell in love with this intrepid character who rose from neglected orphanhood to become a source of pride and a support to her adoptive family, bringing them joy along the way. From that early introduction, which left us wanting more, we turned to the books, beginning with Anne of Green Gables, of course, and working our way through the series. However, the first book remains our favorite. Now Alcazar Audioworks has released an unabridged reading of Anne of Green Gables. (I just love audiobooks, especially when they are well-produced and read with skill and enthusiasm. I've always loved being read-to, from my earliest years, and with audiobooks I can be among the listeners once more. In addition, audiobooks allow us to listen while accomplishing other tasks: washing dishes, folding laundry, picking up, even artwork or handcrafts.) Susan McCarthy does a wonderful job of reading, infusing Anne with enthusiasm, Marilla with proper stiffness, even bewilderment at this whirlwind responsibility she's taken on, expressing Matthew's shy kindness. It's a pleasure to follow Anne's fortunes and follies from the beginning to the end of the book. As a matter of fact, when we reached the last CD in this particular set, rather than going on to another book, we decided to listen all over again! I think we just might be kindred spirits. If you don't recognize that reference, you really ought to make Anne's acquaintance. Alcazar Audioworks' Anne of Green Gables would make a delightful starting place.
