Marilla Cuthbert and her brother, Matthew, decide that they are getting old and need help with the farm. They make arrangements to adopt a boy who is old enough to help with the chores and can be taught how to take care of the farm by Matthew. But the train doesn't drop off a boy. Anne, an eleven-year-old, red-headed orphan, is sitting at the train depot, waiting for the Cuthberts to take her home.

Every year I try to fit in a couple of classics that I never got to read when I was in school. I saw the audiobook of this book and decided to give it a try. Anne is a very dramatic kid. I couldn't help smiling at some of the things she said. I can see why the Cuthberts decided not to send her back to the orphanage. She definitely grows on you.

This was a full-cast recording with different actors for each voice. I loved it! It was so easy to figure out who was talking. I also loved the surround-sound. You could hear horses clomping, birds singing, crickets chirping...it added so much to the story. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
