At sixteen, Anne is grown up...almost. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. In the years since she arrived at Green Gables as a freckle-faced orphan, she has earned the love of the people of Avonlea and a reputation for getting into scrapes. But when Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins.

Shabby and lumbering, with a face like a Norfolk dumpling, Father Brown makes for an improbable super-sleuth. But his innocence is the secret of his success: refusing the scientific method of detection, he adopts instead an approach of simple sympathy, interpreting each crime as a work of art, and each criminal as a man no worse than himself… Here you will find the complete Father Brown stories in the chronological order of their original publication. The Innocence of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 1, The Wisdom of Father Brown Starts at Chapter 13.

John Doolittle is a kind-hearted country physician who keeps goldfish in his pond, rabbits in the pantry, white mice in a piano, and a hedgehog in the cellar. He also has an unusual gift: he can talk to animals - a talent that comes in handy, since he prefers treating animals, rather than humans, as his patients. One day, a mysterious call summons him to Africa, where a serious epidemic has spread among the monkey population. Of course, the good doctor sets out immediately with some of his best friends - Jip, the dog, and Polynesia, the parrot, among others.

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

Publisher's Summary
On Prince Edward Island, aging siblings Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert decide to adopt a boy to help with chores around the farm. But when Mathew arrives at the train platform, the only living creature in sight, legs dangling from the piles of shingles where she sits, is a freckled, green-eyed, redheaded little girl. Mathew senses immediately that life at Green Gables is going to be very different. And how right he is. The independent and fiery girl, Anne, changes the Cuthberts' lives immeasurably, and for the better.

I ♡ Anne
I've loved Anne since reading this book as a girl. I loved revisiting Green Gables and Avonlea as I listened to it as an adult. When I was a girl I wanted to be like Anne with an imagination leading me away on magical journeys and helping me to see the world at its best and most beautiful. Anne's optimism inspired me to adopt my own optimism and to see the best in people. As an adult reader/listener I found myself in tears as Marilla learned to be a mother and found herself softening under Anne's love. There's so much to love in Anne of Green Gables no matter what age you are.
Barbara Caruso's reading is just right and captures the characters perfectly. I want to keep listening to her read this series for sure.

Loved Revisiting this Book of Childhood
Thoroughly enjoyed visiting this story from childhood. I now know I want to go on and listen to all of them. I had forgotten many of the stories about Anne except for the red wine and the dyeing of the hair. Chuckled so many times. Well worth the reread. Barbara Caruso narrated beautiful

A Classic
Any additional comments?
This is a timeless gem of a novel. I loved the book when I was a young girl and I still love it now when I am 67. It makes smile, laugh and cry. The characters in the small community featured in this book become real due to the author's talent in creating and describing them. The book chronicles how Anne (spelled with an "e") comes by mistake to Avon Lea and the house known as Green Gables. Brother and sister (Matthew and Murila) own Green Gables and they needed a boy to come help aging Matthew with the farm work. They sent to the orphanage for a boy but the message was garbled and they got a girl. They planned to send her back, but things happened. Anne is a heap of trouble, but she is a bright and shinning joy. It is such a satisfying story. I will love it always. As an aside, there is a wonderful movie (I think it was a TV series) of this book. I have watched it and the sequels several times. The actors are fantastic and the movie follows the book perfectly.

Lovely Story and Narrator
I'm so glad I thought to look this book up on Audible! It was nice to listen to on my early autumn commutes (the story doesn't specifically take place only in autumn, but it still felt appropriate!). I am very particular about narrators, and I thought from the beginning that Barbara Caruso did a wonderful job. I'm happy that I'll have this in my library for future listens!

Superb!
I have, for as long as I can remeber, been in love with the Anne of Green Gables movies. For the first time I decided to read the books and am pleased that I am just as much in love with them than I am the movies. I am probably more in love with the books than I am with the movies. There is so much more detail and description that only adds to my love of this series. Highly recommended!

Very comforting
I suffer from regular bouts of insomnia, and I purchased these audio books to listen to when I can't sleep. Anne of Green Gables was a perfect choice - it is entertaining, but gentle enough to allow me to fall asleep. It is well read, and the character voices are all very good.

Feel good story
I read this because a friend of mine has loved all the Anne books as her favourites since childhood. I thought I should see what all the fuss was about! This was a good read. I really loved the character of Marilla, perhaps because she reminded me a little of myself?! Anne I found quite annoying as she never shuts up, but she grew on me, and in the end I cared what happened to her. The story is beautifully written, and I even shed a tear near the end when one of the characters died. I immediately downloaded the next in the series, Anne of Avonlea.
A word to the English who are considering which narrator to chose - I find some American/Canadian narrators too American (sorry to sound racist), but Barbara Caruso was very easy on the ear, nice clear pronunciation and enough differentiation between characters without resorting to silly voices, two thumbs up.

An old favourite
What about Barbara Caruso’s performance did you like?
The narrator's performance on this particular book is fantastic, I love it. (Though it may be nostalgia, as it's the version I had growing up.)
