Publisher's summary

The Cuthberts had decided to adopt an orphan - a nice sturdy boy to help 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. But ever since Anne arrived, no one could imagine Green Gables without her.

narrator is anne. megan follows is wonderful reader. i really enjoyed listening to her read.

My most favorite book for over 20 years.

I truly adore this book series. I listen to the series at least twice a year. Megan Follows reading makes it all the more special.

Missing full chapters

Truly well read by Megan Follows however there are several chapters missing the full story.

Terrible audio quality

Same as others have said. It's a shame it's abridged, that wasn't well done. And the ripped--from-cassette sound quality is dreadful, though Ms. Follows is always good.

a true Canadian treasure

our Anne - Megan Fellows is the only Anne for me on television or through her narrations - she is our Anne!

Perfection

Simply the best reading ever. Growing up on this rendition; it’s like coming home. Megan Follows personified Anne to perfection

I Wish This was Unabridged...

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. It was almost like one of those autobiography read by that person. I just wish it had been the complete book. Unfortunately so much of the story is left out in this edition.

Would you ever listen to anything by L. M. Montgomery again?

Yes I have all of the Anne and Avonlea books that are available already.

What does Megan Follows bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Megan Follows (who played Anne in the Sullivan Entertainment movies) reading Anne of Green Gables was like Anne herself telling the story.

Was Anne of Green Gables worth the listening time?

Yes

Any additional comments?

Megan Follows needs to do the full Unabridged version of all of the Anne books.

Abridged, but Megan Follows will always be AnnE

Which character – as performed by Megan Follows – was your favorite?

All. I grew up on the mini-series, so she will always be AnnE to me.

Any additional comments?

The recording is a wee bit fast, but I just slow down the playback speed to compensate. I'm usually not a fan of abridged versions, especially of beloved books, but this was worth the credit. I look forward to acquiring the next two books in the series narrated by Ms. Follows.

I love Megan Follows! she did an amazing job!

I'm a huge fan of Montgomery. I also love the movie Anne of Green Gables movie from the 80's, that starred Megan Follows. Listening to her read the book and knowing the movie so well, made the movie and book converse together in a magical way.

Amazing narrator, but unfortunately abridged.

I love this book and Megan Follows’ narration. I have the same version on CD, but it’s unabridged, and I really wish audible had that. The story is great, and is one of my favorites, but I would recommend getting an unabridged audiobook if you want the full experience.
