The Anne of Green Gables Collection

Mostly great but confusing omissions

I really enjoyed this- these were some of my favourite books growing up, and the lady who narrates book book one and 5 in particular was wonderful- very gentle and relaxing listen.

However, for some reason, Anne of windy willows, and more importantly, Anne of Ingleside aren’t included. The latter is one of my favourites of the series and I’d love to know why they decided to omit them! It leaves such gaping blanks in the story..

expected better

the biggest issue I had is that this audiobook (i. fact the recording of 6 books back-to-back) is divided by parts. it wouldn't be such a problem (and I would have even accepted the performance, which does not compare favourably to others available on Audible), given the price, if it wasn't for the fact that the parts are finishing randomly between the chapters of the books, not the end of the books themselves. if one were to listen from the whole beginning to the end then maybe that would not be a problem, but if they try to listen to particular book then finding where that may start can be very frustrating. very disappointing production. not sure I would like to go through this experience again.

The Anne of Green Gables Collection has been 73 hours and 19 minutes of living on Prince Edward Island well over 100 years ago!

I have loved in my 74 th. year revisiting the lovely Anne of Green Gables stories I enjoyed when I was young. I had already revisited Anne with my own children when they were young too. But buying this collection of all of Lucy Montgomery tales of the grown up Anne and her children, and even, the last book, Tales of Avonlea has been a renewed revelation of story telling. An especially great treat was Rilla' s story. Anne's youngest daughter. This book covers the four years of the first world war as lived on Prince Edward Island. The young men went away to the war and the women and older men left behind take you into their world of sorrows and joys, fears and frustrations of the daily life of those at home following every detail of the news of that great war player out over much of the world but far away from Canada. I learnt so much from this book. And it was so well written. Thankyou for this collection of books I have enjoyed it all so much

Poorly organised

The chapters from all six books are jumbled into one extremely long play list, and the tracks are not labelled with which book they belong to, so it's very difficult to tell when one book starts and another finishes. The performance is good but not nearly as characterful as the Rachel McAdams recording of the first book.

Wholesome and inspiring

The author is really good at capturing children's spirit and the story is just heartwarming. By the end of it, I found myself more appreciative of the things around me, and that's a sign of a really good book (or in this case, series).

Excellent, exceptional, amazing

I’d recommend this to anyone. Amazing story!!! Anne’s wit is endless. Mathew and Marilla were lucky with this mistake!!

horrible editing

Anne of green gables is the same as ever - varying between charming and sweet and rather foolish (mostly due to age of the story). but this lot of audio books is impossible to navigate. chapters are not labeled, you don't know which book you're listening to. Don't buy unless you want to listen to all the books every time!
