About this listen

Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Canadian author of the popular Anne of Green Gables series, introduces us to an endearing new heroine in Emily of New Moon. Like Anne Shirley, Emily Starr is a quick-witted and imaginative orphan who is sent to live with her two maiden aunts at New Moon Farm after her father dies. Though initially disheartened by her strict and conventional Aunt Elizabeth, Emily slowly grows to love her new family and New Moon Farm.

There she makes friends with Ilse Burnley, a tomboy with a blazing temper; quiet, artistic Teddy Kent; and Perry Miller, the hired boy, who Aunt Elizabeth looks down upon because he was born in the impoverished “Stovepipe Town”.

Montgomery considered Emily to be a character much closer to her own personality than Anne, and some of the events which occur in the Emily series happened to Montgomery herself. Emily is described as having black hair, purply violet eyes, elfin ears, pale skin, and a unique and enchanting “slow” smile.

This charming audio adaptation of Emily of New Moon is set against the backdrop of picturesque Prince Edward Island. A delightful story the whole family will enjoy!

My favorite Anne narrating my favorite L.M. Montgomery—it’s absolute perfection from start to finish!

Just rapturous!

I have been meaning to read the Emily books since I finished the Anne of Green Gables series as a child between 8 &10. Somehow it took a few decades but I've at least somehow started now. I almost didn't keep going after the first few chapters. It was, it seemed to me, a more harsh beginning and relentlessly, opionatedly, truthful book than I recall of the Anne series. I guess I was comparing them too much. But really, L.M. has crafted another unique young personality that touches off something and resonates just as she did with Anne. I think I will always love Anne best, but Emily is intriguing so far. Megan Follows - can I say enough about how infatuated I was with her portrayal of Anne when I was a child, and which has shaped my opinion of her performances (and Anne) forever more? I'm sure I could try but it wouldn't do much good for this review. I can only say that I feel she did a superb narration and thrilled a little when I noticed that she seemed to subtly sound like Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla with some of the tones and inflections she imposed upon Aunt Elizabeth. Or is that just my imagination? Regardless, she did it all justice, and kept her styles varied enough between all of the characters that it was easy to be caught up in them as individuals and know who was talking at which point. I really look forward to and hope she will continue to narrate more Emily books and/or works by L.M. Montgomery. Thank you.

L.M. & M.F. must be kindred spirits

Very enjoyable. I will always enjoy Megan Follows reading, especially Lucy Maud Montgomery stories. She understands that world. Her voices are distinct and I especially liked the Irish priest. I waited over a year for this recording. I am hoping that the producer will continue with the other Emily books with Ms. Follows as the narrator. I will buy ahead just like I did this one. My only criticism is that it is abridged and therefore ended too quickly.

Wonderful Narrator

This young protagonist took me with her from glorious mountaintops to the depths of grief, through her joy-filled and tear-stained childhood with hope and mourning and most of all forgiveness and healing.

I'll read it again and again.

Emily of New Moon has always been my favorite of LMM’s stories, and I had always hoped that an audible version would be made. Megan Fellows’ narration is the perfect choice for this saga, and I certainly hope that she is able to continue with subsequent E of NM books!!!

Simply wonderful!

I was so excited to learn that Meagan Follows would narrate one of my favorite books. I have loved Emily just a smidgen more than Anne. It was a lovely reading, although was didn't realize it was an abridged version. No matter. This will count as my 7th read. Loved it!

Beautiful!!
