Publisher's summary

New adventures lie ahead as Anne Shirley packs her bags, waves good-bye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With her old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport and her frivolous new friend Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne tucks her memories of rural Avonlea away and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises... including a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable, the sale of her very first story, and a tragedy that teaches her a painful lesson

But tears turn to laughter when Anne and her friends move into an old cottage and an ornery black cat steals her heart. Little does Anne know that handsome Gilbert Blythe wants to win her heart, too. Suddenly Anne must decide whether she's ready for love.

Super good!

The narrator sounds like they smoke though not good in that respect. But over all great!

The story is awesome but I don’t like the narrator

The story is awesome but I don’t like the narrator. It’s boring and it doesn’t convey the emotions characters emotions.

every sentence ends with a question mark and had i not been in the middle of the series i would have most definitely returned this. steer clear.

narrator is terrible.

the narrator painfully exaggerates words and actions while still leaving the story stiff and flat. would not recommend. spend the extra 2$ and get a better recording.

Love the Anne series, just not the narrator

The Anne series has alway one of my favorites. It is hard to find a narrator that fits the series, is pleasant to listen to, and captures Anne's personality and spirit. In my opinion this reader misses the mark. Her voice is not pleasant to listen to, has a sharp nasal tone, but most importantly she doesn't have the right inflection, cadence and tone when she is speaking for the characters, especially Anne. I find that listening to her voice distracts me and you lose the flow of the story. I will look for a different narrator.
