Story
The first thing every listener will want to know is whether Anne Shirley appears in these stories of Avonlea and Spencervale. She certainly does. As a matter of fact, page one starts off in this manner: "Anne Shirley was curled up on the window seat of Theodora Dix's sitting room one Saturday evening, looking dreamily afar at some fair starland beyond the hills of sunset. Anne was visiting for a fortnight of her vacation."

It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

For Older Children and Adults Who Are Old Enough
Lucy Maude Montgomery's books are usually found in the children's section and children can and do gain immense pleasure from reading and re-reading them. As I have grown older, I found that I have outgrown categories such as children's or women's books. I think such categories can and do hide a books true merit.
Rilla of Ingleside is the conclusion of the stories begun in Rainbow Valley. As I wrote the previous sentence, I realized that it wasn'true. LM Montgomery wrote only one book during her life. It is a book of stories of and about the people of the Maritime Provinces of Canada and in particular, Prince Edward Island. At its core, Rilla is a romance, a very powerful and moving romance set against the background of World War I and oddly enough includes only two kisses. One kiss was bestowed by Rilla a silly empty headed girl and the second by Rilla the woman. I add, a woman worth having and loving. In between, the politics, privations, sacrifices and motivations of individuals and nations become understandable. One can gain an insight into the lives of ordinary people and their extraordinary accomplishments; most important of all, their quiet resolute courage both on the battlefield and in the kitchens, parlors and churches. Rilla is a story about how World War I changed the world forever and affects us and our attitudes today. It is a book older children will love as well as adults who have gown up enough.
The narrator, Anna Fields has a gift and leads us on through these stories with her clear pleasant voice as she assumes the identity of widely varying characters.

Anne's Most Charming Child
Rilla, Anne's most charming child, is on the brink of becoming a woman, full of romantic hopes and dreams, when a far-off war intervenes and changes her life forever. Suddenly, everything familiar is upended, and she is faced with a world unlike any she has ever imagined, even in dear Glen St. Mary, where she has lived all her life. Growing up will require unexpected skills, but Rilla finds her path, laying aside her idle ways as she develops her strengths and selflessly throws herself into tasks far beyond her years. Her joyful nature is tested but not overcome, as she weaves her life with strands familiar as well as unexpected.
I have purchased all three of the audiobooks of this title, and was extremely disappointed with the other two. Although this book is a favorite, the other narrators just ruined it for me. Anna Fields' narration makes this version the only one worth the listen.

Much sadder than the other Anne books
This book takes place over the years of WWI. It is much sadder than the other books in the Anne series. I'm going to miss these characters. I would gladly have read another series about how Anne and Gilbert's children built new lives after the war. I am going to believe they all lived happily ever after.

Moving account of “those left at home”
This is a wonderful account of what it must have been like for many families during World War One. It’s very moving at times, as well as featuring the signature humour we have come to expect from the “Anne” books. The narration lets this down, with the attempts at the male voices being almost comical at the most inappropriate times.

Wonderful story, but reading fell a bit short
I love this book, which is what pushed me to listen all the way through this performance. The reader aimed to use a variety of voices for the different characters, which was a commendable aim. Unfortunately, a number of these fell short of the mark, particularly for the male characters. I honestly would have preferred it if she had kept her own voice all the way through.
