The story (no spoilers)

Sixteen-year-old Anne Shirley, home from Queen's Academy, is about to become the teacher of the Avonlea school on Prince Edward Island. Her head is full of rose-tinted ideals about shaping young minds, but the real world arrives first, in the form of a furious new neighbour and a Jersey cow with a taste for his oats. Over the next two years, Anne must earn the respect of pupils who test her patience, from the sharpest to the most stubborn. At Green Gables, Marilla's household unexpectedly grows when two orphaned twins, one sweet and one full of mischief, need a home. Anne also throws herself into improving the village, with plans grander than the village is ready for, and meets new kindred spirits along the way. Her friendships with Diana and Gilbert shift as she edges toward womanhood. Warm, funny and full of imagination, Anne of Avonlea asks what a girl with big dreams makes of the ordinary life in front of her.

The cast

33 speaking roles are listed; walk-on parts are not. Each voice was designed, or chosen from our library of designed voices, to fit how the book describes the character, and it stays with them from the first chapter to the last. Portraits are illustrated impressions of each character.

Anne
Female, about sixteen years old, a schoolteacher in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island in 1900s, middle-class and idealistic. She speaks with a clear, refined Prince Edward Island Canadian accent. She speaks fluently and expressively, earnest and dreamy.
Marilla
Female, about sixty years old, a Canadian farm housekeeper in rural Prince Edward Island in 1900s, a plain-living middle-class woman. She speaks with a crisp Scottish-tinged Maritime Canadian accent, in a low, dry, slightly thin alto from a lean, work-worn frame. She speaks briskly in short matter-of-fact lines, stern on the surface, practical, and quietly kind underneath.
Davy
A seven-year-old Canadian boy, a farm ward in the 1900s, with a rural Prince Edward Island accent. His voice is high-pitched, chubby, bright, with chatty, cheerful energy. He is roguish, affectionate, frank.

Male, about fifty-five years old, a short, stout, bald farmer from New Brunswick living in Prince Edward Island in 1900s, a working-class crank. He has a New Brunswick Maritime accent, a gruff, gravelly baritone from a barrel chest, and speaks in blunt, rumbling bursts that rise when he is cross. Crotchety, hasty and a little embarrassed underneath.

She has a soft, refined Maritime Canadian accent and a light, musical mezzo-soprano. She speaks slowly and warmly, with a dreamy lilt that drops to a whisper, wistful, playful and sentimental.
Rachel Lynde
Female, about fifty-five years old, a stout, hearty farmer's wife and village gossip in rural Prince Edward Island in 1900s, comfortably middle-class. She has a broad rural Prince Edward Island accent with rounded vowels, a full, strong chesty mezzo, and speaks fast and emphatically, clinching each point. Outspoken, curious and opinionated.
