About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Anne of Green Gables (Version 9) by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Read in English by tshoes76. This is the story of Anne Shirley, one of literature’s most memorable characters, a young orphan girl taken in by two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, at their remote farm in the fictional village of Avonlea, on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Anne’s vivid imagination, excitability, quick wit, and penetrating intelligence challenge their patience but brighten their own lives, as their affection for Anne grows into an abiding love. Published in 1908, this is the first of eight books that follow Anne from the age of eleven through to adulthood, against the backdrop of early 20th century Canadian culture. Ten film adaptations of the books, several foreign films (including an anime version), and a Netflix series, testify to the enduring and universal appeal of Anne Shirley of Green Gables.
