With all of the pluck and charm of its eponymous young hero, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Spotlight, Midnight in Paris) delivers a spectacular reading of Montgomery's beloved bildungsroman. In moments both funny and bittersweet, McAdams' voice is imbued with the spark that has made Anne a much-loved symbol of individualism and cheer for over a century. In this story of "kindred spirits", McAdams' touching and heartfelt narration proves she is just that - bonded on a deep level to this shimmering classic.

When aging brother and sister Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help with chores around their farm, Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, neither is prepared for the feisty and imaginative redheaded girl who is mistakenly brought to them instead. Nor are they prepared for the way in which she will change their lives. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, Anne's uncompromising spirit makes her a striking presence in the close-knit village, bringing new friendships, first crushes, and, for her foster parents, a love and openness unimaginable before her arrival.

Buy Another Edition, One Which Doesn't Profit a Thief

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a great book, but buying this edition which Marco Pedulla purports to have translated constitutes buying stolen property.

The book was written in Englilsh, so Pedulla has translated nothing. What he has done has taken material free in the public domain and offered it on Amazon.

Amazon should NOT support theft.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT if you are looking for a readable version of this beloved classic for your child (or even yourself). This reprint is published through CreateSpace, which is not a bad thing, but in this case the publisher simply typed in the story as massive blocks of text with very narrow margins, lines as close together as possible, and few paragraph breaks. I am an avid reader, and I normally do not worry about white space on a page, etc., but this book was typeset/formatted in such a way as to make it unpleasant for me and unreadable for my ten-year-old. She had enjoyed my aging and dilapidated copy of this book so much, that she wanted her own copy. The first thing she asked when she saw the book was, "What's wrong with the cover?" It was completely blurry and totally unprofessional. When she opened the book she said, "Mommy, I thought this was going to be like yours. I can't read all this." I found that particularly sad since she sometimes has doubts about her reading ability, and since she had already read this same book in a better format. She was so disappointed by this book. If only I had checked the publisher more carefully. Hopefully, this review will help save someone else some disappointment.

Awesome Quality for Price

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022

This was a great book for the price. I needed to buy multiply copies for a classroom and this was the best value. The font was much smaller than most books, so if small fonts don't work for you, do not purchase.

Interesting format.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I'm a nerd about books, and bought it because the format is new and interesting. It's about the size of a cellphone - squatter and thicker, but it easily fits in a pocket. Both pages are oriented in the same direction, so it's like one page instead of two. The paper is extremely thin, like an old Bible, and you can slightly see through to the writing on the other side of the paper. The creases don't open as well as one would wish. Still, I found it pretty easy to read, and basically liked it. I prefer a standard paperback and perhaps I even prefer just reading off a cell phone. But this format definitely has its place as being paper and still extremely portable.

As much as I love Anne of Green Gables, a classic children's book doesn't really make much sense to me for the format. A small child might have issues with ripping the pages, and it's not really ideal for reading out loud to a kid.

beautiful hardcover edition

I love these stories. I watched the movies as a kid, and recently read the books from the library.
I put this, and Anne of Avenlea on the wish list, and my husband bought them as a Sweetest day gift. They arrived today and I got them early. I am very excited! They will be a great addition to my growing number of classic books in hardcover for our library.

Great recording from an awesome bunch!

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great reading of a great book. It's completely unabridged, so the whole story of Anne and Marilla's beginning is there. The CDs came in a litte mini binder case - the case had small binder rings that held the pages with the CDs in place and in order. Overall, I highly HIGHLY recommend this version of the Anne of Green Gables audiobook over any other.

Flo Gibson, the woman who leant her voice to this audiobook, is a lady more of us should know about! She recorded over 1,100 books in her lifetime for the love of reading, can you believe that? And she didn't record just anything - she chose books that she herself liked to read. (And mostly books that were in the public domain, as they came with no royalties to record!)

Her love for reading and desire to share it led to her starting the company that this audiobook is sold by - Audio Book Contractors. She recorded for them up until she passed in 2011.

I learned all this by having a conversation with the current owner of the company. This isn't a paid endorsement or anything, not at all. Rather, I bought this audiobook and then reached out to Audio Book Contractors about the other Anne books - in that email exchange the owner, he told me about his work with Ms. Gibson.

That being said, I do recommend buying from Audio Book Contractors! They are a super tiny company and have a great deal many audiobooks for sale. Aaaaand if you order direct from their website (just google "Audio Book Contractors") you get free shipping over $25 and they send it out to ship faster than Amazon. So yeah. Do the thing - support the small guys!

Warning, do not buy this version - the text is corrupted

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this kindle version of this book for 1.99, but on starting to read it found an issue. The text doesn’t make any sense to an English reader. Or at least it almost makes sense, but is obviously corrupted. I suspect this has come from a foreign version of the book which has been automatically translated back into English. Here’s an example from the first page:

“It changed into reputed to be an difficult, headlong brook in its in advance course thru those woods”

I would advise the potential buyer to use the “Look Inside” feature on Amazon to check if this is still a problem in the version they are thinking of purchasing.

Beautiful stories and eloquent writing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had always thought of the Anne of Green Gables as children's books. They are not. The author is brilliant at helping the reader see the world through the eyes of children. She has the rare gift of making a thoroughly good character, Anne, interesting and complex. Anne's resourcefulness had me in tears on many occasions.

Through the series we see Anne grow up and have children of her own and experience and cope with life's ups and downs.The author loves her characters and Prince Edward Island. The latter is almost a character in the books. Her descriptions of the island and its woods, flowers and fields are lyrical and poetic.There might be a bit too much of this for some modern readers but it is a price well worth paying for some beautiful stories and eloquent writing.

I loved it.

The First Anne Shirley Story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

First published in 1908 and reprinted so many times since, 'Anne of Green Gables' hardly needs an introduction as many people, even if they have not read the book, will at least know some of the story through the television adaptations of the novel and its sequels. Therefore, briefly, L.M. Montgomery's children's novel, which is set on Prince Edward Island in Canada, tells the story of eleven-year-old auburn-haired orphan girl, Anne Shirley, who arrives at Green Gables, the home of Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert and, despite not being the boy they expected to adopt, nevertheless wins the hearts of the Cuthberts - and, indeed, all of those around her. With a cast of sympathetic and interesting characters and filled with all of the adventures (and misadventures) that the highly imaginative Anne encounters, this little novel was one that I read several times as a child and loved it, but not one that I have read as an adult - therefore, it was with some trepidation that I began rereading the first book in the Anne of Green Gables series. Well, I needn't have worried, because although I understandably didn't feel quite the same way about the story as I did when I read it as a child (and it's full of homespun philosophies and tales with a moral to them - which may not appeal to some readers today), I still very much enjoyed this little book and found it a heart-warmingly nostalgic read.

4 Stars.

Livro magnífico

Reviewed in Brazil on April 2, 2018

Comprei o livro pois vi o filme e a série original da Netflix. Fiquei apaixonada pela história sobre como uma menina orfã com uma imaginação sem fim crescia em um local onde muitos não tinham a mesma visão colorida do mundo como ela tem. Não me arrependi. Comprei em inglês para treinar e praticar o meu vocabulário e, apesar de haver algumas palavras que não estava familiarizada devido a época que ele foi escrito, não tive nenhum problema em entender o que acontecia na história ou dificuldade com a língua.
Recomendo para quem quer começar a ler um livro em inglês e ainda está inseguro a respeito. É fácil de ler, letras grandes e vocabulário comum, do dia a dia.
A capa é magnífica. Muito bem feita, colorida e encantadora como é o livro.
Paguei muito barato e chegou rápido, sem nenhum problema.
Recomendo 100%

Wonderful! Well worth the read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

A beautiful book all through! I'd heard of it, of course, but never read it, even as a child, or seen any of the films. So when I saw it listed, it was the chance of a lifetime. It is a wonderful story, about a freckled, red-headed, lonely orphan girl of eleven, blessed (or some would say, plagued) with an endless imagination. This part of her make-up allows her to bear many disappointments and ill treatments. Then a small mistake sends her to an elderly brother and sister, the Cuthberts, who originally planned to adopt a boy. But they change their minds after Anne arrives, which changes her life (and theirs) forever. A funny, heart warming story, (even tearful, I have to admit) I couldn't put it down once I'd started it. Wonderful story, well worth the read! Had to wait a long time to read it, never had it as a child, though had hundreds of my own, & nearly 70 now! Think I may read the sequels too.
