Lucy Maud Montgomery

Chronicles of Avonlea Lucy Maud Montgomery

The first thing every listener will want to know is whether Anne Shirley appears in these stories of Avonlea and Spencervale. She certainly does. As a matter of fact, chapter one starts off in this manner: Anne Shirley was curled up on the window seat of Theodora Dixs sitting-room one Saturday evening, looking dreamily afar at some fair starland beyond the hills of sunset. Anne was visiting for a fortnight of her vacation.... However, most of the people who appear in this audiobook are new to listeners of the Anne books. There are Ludovic and Theodora, Old Lady Lloyd and Sylvia Gray, Felix Moore and his grandfather, Little Jocelyn and Aunty Nan, Lucinda Penhallow, Old Man Shaws Blossom, Olivia Sterling, and many, many others. The charm of Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea is to be found in every chapter of this gently sentimental and enjoyably humorous audiobook.
