DESCRIPTION:
So when a skinny, red-haired girl turns up, she is not quite what they had in mind. Since its publication in 1908, the story of Anne Shirley has touched a chord in the hearts of readers all over the world: " .old pioneers in the Australian bush, girls in India, missionaries in China, monks in remote monasteries, premiers of Great Britain, and red-headed people all over the world have written to me, telling me how they loved Anne," wrote L.M. Montgomery about her heroine. Anne Shirley soon sets the quiet island community of Avonlea talking of little else. Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert have sent to the orphanage for a boy. 2 hrs 24 mins.. The infectious liveliness and charm of the novel emanates delightfully from this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization.2 CDs. With her incessant chatter and intense imagination, things are never dull with Anne—in fact, they are frequently fiery. But slowly the islanders realize that beneath the quicksilver tongue and the red-headed temper is a little girl with a heart of gold, who brings a much-needed warmth and vitality to the community
Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful classic story and it gets 5 stars Anne of Green Gables is a wonderful classic story and it gets 5 stars. This particular printing, however, is completely unacceptable. It's as if someone typed it into a document, and printed it off--no page numbers, not titled at the top of each page, the lines don't even break properly (see photo). Purchased as a gift, thankfully with enough time to purchase a better quality copy--probably for less money! A disgrace to the publishing community..

The illustrations are actually random pictures that are creepy since they are in the beginning when Anne meets Mathew Cuthbert so they insinuate a romance between them. And the free audiobook is click bait to set you up to download an app and give your email address to spammers.

But at 71 years of age I found myself in a house full of books only one of which I had not read. I am terrribly addicted to reading so, in desperation, I started "Anne of Green Gables". It is a marvelous book with a main character I wish I could meet every day in real life. Again to feed my addiction I bought the "Anne of Green Gables" series. Each book was a delight and I soon forgot that they were "girls" books. Maud c
