Anne of the Island (version 2) by Lucy Maud MONTGOMERY read by Karen Savage | Full Audio Book

[@DaughterofKings22]

Karen Savage's voice reminds me so much of Megan Follows, who in my mind is the only Anne. Karen does such a marvelous job reading. I've never enjoyed audio books more. Thanks so much.

[@malissahyatt2425]

I thought the same thing about her voice.

[@kissmilily]

You are not the only one who thought that! ☺️. She sounds so like Megan Follows as Anne.

[@lizzybeckett1954]

Definitely! Karen Savage is one of my favourite readers.

[@rhiannachastain253]

Yes I'm Positive all of us believe Megan Follows is the exact person for that role.

[@alie_smith]

THAT must explain why I love listening to her so much!! 😍❤️💫

[@elishevaborenson4609]

Karen Savage, you are brilliant how smoothly you change your voice to suit the character who is speaking. The listener feels to be actually hearing the different characters speaking in their own personalities. This is dramatic reading at its finest.

[@lemonnade65]

I must say, Gilbert Blythe is one of the best male characters in a novel, good person, kind, consistent, hard working and with a sense of humour. At times I felt Anne did not deserve him! Lucy Maud Montgomery certainly rose the standards!

[@sianifairy9070]

I agree! I do find myself wishing L.M. Montgomery didn't share more of his thoughts and dreams. He seems to have traveled and worked at several jobs, and then is sick....is there any fan fiction about him?

[@MrsScott-bx8sb]

I loved Anne in my youth but I could never get through the rest of the books beyond Anne of Green Gables. I couldn't understand why I just didn't read them! Now I know. It is because I had to wait to enjoy having them read to me by Karen Savage. She is as quintessentially Anne as Megan Follows, herself! I hope she has read every Anne book for librivox!

Every time Karen read the Mrs. Lynde line, I hold my breath. She speak so fast and so clear, I love it!

[@kerinholmstrom250]

I never tire of these timeless tales...the quirks of human nature are just as relevant then as they are today.

[@lelavelion1356]

It is always super annoying how blind Anne is to her feelings for Gilbert. Yet, that's what makes her human. We've all got to fudge something at least once in our lives. Phil's speech about how Anne doesn't know love when she sees it is 100% accurate. The whole situation shows how young and immature Anne is as a person. She's not irresponsible or anything, yet she still holds on to those same childish ideals that Dianna grew out of when she fell in love with Fred. The empty relationship with Carter and the near loss of Gilbert bring her arch full circle.

[@mecheyne]

I bought the audible version by Dreamscape and the reader for this book is so unbearable (she makes Gilbert and Davey sound like hicks and Anne sometimes sounds like a prim rude creature or a simpering child). I had to come back to listen to this free version by Karen Savage. It's so amazing and well read!

[@tashagervais8733]

YES! Same! Couldn't stand the Gilbert or Davey voice.

[@nozecone]

I haven't heard that recording or even read the book - but Gilbert, at least, would have BEEN a "hick"; don't know anything about Davey, not having read the book, as I say.

[@mecheyne]

Back again listening to this version!

[@mecheyne]

​@@nozecone"hick" usually means someone who is more in the lower working class, with crude language and not very literate. I don't think that is a good description of Gilbert. Maybe we're thinking of hick with different definitions

[@nozecone]

Gilbert was of a farming community in a somewhat isolated, insular locale. While he would have been of the landed rather than landless class, i.e., the rural middle class, he would have had habits of speech, dress, and behaviour that would have undoubtedly identified him as a 'hick' to uncharitable urban sophisticates. 'Hick' is a classist term I would not normally utter, but since you introduced it, yes, those who use such terms might very well apply the term 'hick' to a real-life Gilbert - before he went away to college and got polished up. I will add that my mother's people were part of L.M. Montgomery's social milieu - in fact, she borrowed the name of a relative for one of her characters - so I have some idea whereof I speak.@@mecheyne
