Mary Sarah
When Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island, send for a boy orphan to help them out at the farm, they are in no way prepared for the error that will change their lives. The mistake takes the shape of Anne Shirley, a redheaded 11-year-old girl who can talk anyone under the table. Fortunately, her sunny nature and quirky imagination quickly win over her reluctant foster parents. Anne's feisty spirit soon draws many friends—and much trouble—her way.
Montgomery wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies.

What did you like most about Anne of Green Gables?
The whole book is just so uplifting, the character Anne is a bundle of joy, throwing herself fully into everything in her life whether it be happiness or despair.Would you be willing to try another book from Lucy Maude Montgomery? Why or why not?
Yes, I really enjoyed this writing, even though the main character is a young girl who uses lots of big words and sometimes sounds so grown-up, it also feels so real.Have you listened to any of Mary Sarah’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No I haven't, at first I wasn't sure about the narrator but I guess I learned to love her along with the character and have already bought the next in the series, checking that it was Mary Sarah again.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
All of Anne's adventures were so uplifting and really made you appreciate things that little bit more. If I every feel down, I know that giving this book a listen will make me feel happy again.Any additional comments?
This is a classic that I felt I really should catch-up on and I'm so glad that I did, it is not just a book for children!Happiness!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I'd recommend this to anyone. Its just a lovely, warm and funny story, well told. It made me laugh and smile and it just gave me that feel good glow. I was also crying at the end, as I drove my lorry around. Very cathartic! It makes you want to escape from this mad world to a simpler, slower time, when people cared for their neighbours and family.What did you like best about this story?
Its got to be the ginger, chatterbox herself.What about Mary Sarah’s performance did you like?
A good performance. With a nice range of voices for the many characters.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's highly addictive. I'd downloaded Anne of Avonlea before I was halfway through listening to this.Any additional comments?
Well worth a listen. I would recommend it to anyone.A tonic to a fast, hard, uncaring modern world.
