This is the second volume in the poignant yet amusing tale of the perky red-headed tales of Anne of Green Gables. This classic of children’s literature is set in Canada at the beginning of the century and is one of the best-selling titles in children’s literature ever.
The famous red-haired orphan, ANNE OF GREEN GABLES is back, grown up and ready to start her first teaching job at the village school. Her best friend, her adopted mother, and her neighbor all share in her spirited adventures. Liza Ross sounds whiny as the eccentric Mr. Harrison, but she does well with most of the other parts. However, the listener may find it difficult to distinguish between Harrison's voice and that of Anne's adoptive mother. Anne's energy and verve project well, as does her mother's reserve and aloofness. Rapid violin music denotes chapter breaks. Timeless and sweet, this is a keeper.
