Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

When Marilla Cuthbert's brother, Matthew, returns home to Green Gables with a chatty redheaded orphan girl, Marilla exclaims, "But we asked for a boy. We have no use for a girl." It's not long, though, before the Cuthberts can't imagine how they could ever do without young Anne of Green Gables--but not for the original reasons they sought an orphan. Somewhere between the time Anne "confesses" to losing Marilla's amethyst pin (which she never took) in hopes of being allowed to go to a picnic, and when Anne accidentally dyes her hated carrot-red hair green, Marilla says to Matthew, "One thing's for certain, no house that Anne's in will ever be dull." And no book that she's in will be, either. This adapted version of the classic, Anne of Green Gables, introduces younger readers to the irrepressible heroine of L.M. Montgomery's many stories. Adapter M.C. Helldorfer includes only a few of Anne's mirthful and poignant adventures, yet manages to capture the freshness of one of children's literature's spunkiest, most beloved characters. There's just enough to make beginning readers want more--luckily, there's a lot more in the originals! Illustrator Ellen Beier creates vibrant pictures to portray the beauty of the land around Green Gables and the spirited nature of Anne herself. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-7-With a full cast and some background music, this radio play version of Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic hits the high points of the original novel. It is quite abbreviated, so each episode in Anne's orphan-girl-made-good story is afforded just enough time to lay out the bones of the plot. However, Anne's spunky and endearing character shines through scene after scene, as does some of the nostalgic charm of Avonlea's Canadian setting and quaint old Green Gables. All the parts are read very well, with a touching intensity that makes up for some of the brevity of plot episodes. A narrator fills in quite smoothly between the scenes for each event. Two nice features for young listeners make this a useful introduction to audio fiction. There is a pleasant chime played at the end of each side, and at the beginning of each side a line or two from the preceding side is repeated, helping to move listeners smoothly through the break in the action. This entertaining version may help lead youngsters to the original novel. School and public libraries seeking to add abridged novels to their collections or to introduce or entice young readers to longer fiction will want to consider this version.

This version of Mongomery's classic is illustrated with 14 beautiful color prints by artist Gabriella Dellosso. Though many cheaper editions are available, this is really quite nice for the price.

Review

""It is only necessary to read a few pages of the book to be assured that Anne of Green Gables is in conception and style, the fruit (the first fruit, we believe) of a richly endowed mind of rare imaginative capacity. Her scenes and the personages with which she peoples them become real as one reads."" - The Gazette, 1908

""Anne of Green Gables is the dearest, most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice."" - Mark Twain, 1908

""It is a gem even, with her red hair and freckles. We should dearly have loved Anne Shirley in the flesh."" - Temple Scott, 1908

From the Back Cover

In this classic coming-of-age story by L.M Montgomery, follow the adventures of Anne Shirley as she adjusts to a new life at Green Gables. When little orphan Anne is sent to live with Mathew and Marilla Cuthbert on the farm at Green Gables, she doesn’t expect to fall in love with a place she can finally call home.

About the Author

L. M. Montgomery, a Canadian national treasure, grew up on Prince Edward Island, where her stories are set. Her Anne of Green Gables novels are popular worldwide.

From AudioFile

[Editor's Note: The following is a combined review with THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER.]--Imagination is key to both these classics. Young Anne ("Anne with an e"), adopted into a Prince Edward Island household, uses her imagination and determined spirit to fill her world with hopes and aspirations. And the "dreamings and readings" of the pauper Tom Canty set off the cascade of mistaken identities that comprise Twain's famous tale. The St. Charles Players offer amusing adaptations of these stories with accessible, appealing performances. Here is family listening to entertain different ages and interests. The casts are a bit uneven, but each has some outstanding roles. These are not sophisticated productions, but the spirit of these classics is undaunted--like Anne of Green Gables herself.

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

First book in the Anne of Green Gables series

5 stars

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert were hoping that the boy from the orphanage would be a big help around Green Gables, but they are in for a big surprise when Matthew finds Anne Shirley. A red-headed girl with a pension for speaking in flowery prose, dreaming big, and talking whenever she feels like it. Matthew is taken aback because he isn’t comfortable around the opposite sex and Marilla is a strict and stern woman who adheres to rules and reason. Anne slowly melts their hearts and finds her home in Green Gables all the while causing trouble, making friends, and experiencing new adventures. I remember when I first started listening to this audiobook. I wasn’t expecting much or exactly sure what to expect for the story of Anne of Green Gables. I had seen it mentioned every now and then around the blogosphere as a childhood favorite among readers, but I had never personally heard of Anne until I was sixteen and I expected that because I’m older it would be hard to read about such a young girl. That isn’t the case. This story is transcendent. Anne is character not like any other and the interesting thing about this novel is that it is told in third person and there is broad cast of characters to give outlook onto Anne.

The writing in this novel is beautiful. The way Montgomery writes is carefree, light, and fun. She makes Green Gables feel real and the characters feel like real people that I could’ve had tea with. I loved the time hops that were involved in the pacing. It paved Anne’s story out nicely and didn’t go through continuous everyday things.

Whimsical Writing Scale: 5

The main female character of this novel is Anne. Anne is an enduring character. She has a lot of deep thoughts for girl who is such a “kindred spirit”. I truly adore her narration and feel that she is a character that is just easy to instantly love. If I knew Anne personally she would probably be one of my favorite people because there is never a dull moment with her around. Anne is also a bit a trouble maker, but not intentional. She’s always getting into shenanigans in the oddest little ways, but I think that’s what makes Anne so much fun. She is a kid, but also she has the heart of a growing young adult and it can get Anne caught up in situations that she wouldn’t have expected to be in. Anne as a young adult is also one of my favorite things because it’s so amazing to see the metamorphosis from gangly, awkward girl with knobby knees and a loud mouth who takes no BS to a woman who fights for her goals and aspirations with confidence.

Kick-Butt Heroine Scale: 5

The main male character is Gilbert. Gilbert and Anne do not get off to a good start. In fact, she absolutely hates him while it’s obvious that Gilbert has a crush on her. It’s just so cute. As they grow older and experience life’s hardships, their interaction becomes difference and once they reached a truce and become friends my heart soared and I was ready to plan a wedding. Seriously, I just adore the development of this relationship and it brings a smile to my face.

Swoon Worthy Scale: 5

The Family Dynamic- Marilla and Matthew have a good sibling bond and as they begin to raise Anne, it becomes obvious who has the upper hand. Marilla is a stern woman, but she is an amazing mother figure to Anne and by the end of this novel I absolutely adored her. Matthew is awkward and clumsy at times, but he has a sweet connection with Anne and it’s obvious that she has stolen his heart. While Anne and Matthew aren’t Anne’s parents the dynamic that they bring into her life fill any holes she didn’t have growing up.

Character Scale: 5

The ending to this novel slowly ripped my hearts to pieces. When I listened to emotional scenes on audiobooks I become a blubbering mess. I definitely became a mess, but I also felt hopeful about where Anne’s life could go. There is no question that I’m going to continue on with this series. Mainly because I NEED to know how Anne and Gilbert get together. They are just so cute and I love them. I have since bought a box set of this series on my Kindle and will be rereading Anne of Green Gables this year because I LOVE it and want to feel happy innocent joy again.

Plotastic Scale: 5

Cover Thoughts: My cover of Anne doesn’t do justice, but I love the simplicity of it. I’m also planning to buy pretty editions for my book shelves because I need them in my life.

A funny and heartfelt classic for all ages

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021

I somehow never got around to reading this book when I was younger -- I was far more into fantasy fiction and somehow assumed it would be a boring read. Now, finally visiting it a an adult, I regret not giving it a chance. It's a delightful read, hilarious and sweet, and while I wish I'd read it as a child it's still a classic that can be enjoyed by all ages.

In the town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Matthew and Marilla have decided to adopt an orphan boy to help out on the farm... but thanks to a mix-up they end up with Anne, a feisty and imaginative redhead with a penchant for chatter and romanticism. At first Marilla is determined to send Anne straight back to the orphanage, but reluctantly agrees to let her stay. And soon Anne has won herself a place in Marilla and Matthew's family -- and in the community of Avonlea -- but not without some upsets and misadventures along the way.

This book may be a glimpse at an era that has long passed, but it's still highly enjoyable after all these years. It balances out moments of sweetness and pathos with plenty of humor, and while more of a slice-of-life story than anything with a firm story arc it's still highly enjoyable. And if you think that its protagonist being female means it'll be boring, you couldn't be more wrong -- gender doesn't stop kids from getting into trouble, and Anne sees more than her share of escapades.

It's also wonderful watching Anne progress as a character. She has her flaws, and her temper and impulsive nature get her into plenty of trouble, but she ultimately has a good heart and she sees real development and growth over the course of the story. Most everyone she meets is a well-developed character as well, and even the ones that seem completely unlikable or set up to be antagonists at first are shown to have positive traits. I did see the unresolved romantic tension between her and Gilbert coming from a mile away, but then, at least the novel does its best to make what I'm sure will be a romance in later volumes develop naturally instead of the insta-love that's so common in YA and teen novels today.

"Anne of Green Gables" has endured over the years for a reason, and is still a fantastic read. Full of heart and humor, it still holds up well and can be enjoyed by all ages.

I liked the way the story drew you in and gave a vivid view of what life was like living on Prince Edward Island in days gone by.
The descriptions of the countryside and all that grew in it were a joy and reminded me of my own youth in the village where I spent my early days.
The book was a joy to read and difficult to put down, the type of book like.

Naturalmente avevo già letto Anne, visto che Maud è la mia autrice del cuore, e l'avevo amata tantissimo, ma questa seconda volta me la sono gustata di più. Ho assaporato pagina per pagina e avrei voluto non finisse mai. Amo Anne e adoro anche Matthew, con la sua timidezza e sensibilità; come dimenticare le sue parole d'amore alla figlia adottiva prima del fatidico capitolo? Non smetto mai di emozionarmi davanti a quella impacciata dolcezza. Marilla non è da meno, per quanto più aspra e troppo spesso inflessibile. Proprio lei sarà quella a cambiare maggiormente, una volta conosciuta la potenza dell'amore materno. Sulla scrittura di Maud ho già speso parole e parole; la ritengo la più grande scrittrice per ragazzi di tutti i tempi, assieme a Dickens e a pochi altri eletti. Di certo, è quella che sa maggiormente emozionarmi, facendomi piangere, ridere e sognare. Le sue descrizioni della natura possiedono un lirismo che non ha eguali. La sua ironia ha una raffinatezza ben lontana dalla più pacchiana ilarità odierna. Quanto alla conoscenza dell'animo umano, beh, di rado se ne trova una più profonda. Leggete Anne e leggete tutto di Maud, ben sapendo che, se l'amerete, non riuscirete più a staccarvene.
