About this listen

Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Canadian author of the popular Anne of Green Gables series, introduces us to an endearing new heroine in Emily of New Moon. Like Anne Shirley, Emily Starr is a quick-witted and imaginative orphan who is sent to live with her two maiden aunts at New Moon Farm after her father dies. Though initially disheartened by her strict and conventional Aunt Elizabeth, Emily slowly grows to love her new family and New Moon Farm.

There she makes friends with Ilse Burnley, a tomboy with a blazing temper; quiet, artistic Teddy Kent; and Perry Miller, the hired boy, who Aunt Elizabeth looks down upon because he was born in the impoverished “Stovepipe Town”.

Montgomery considered Emily to be a character much closer to her own personality than Anne, and some of the events which occur in the Emily series happened to Montgomery herself. Emily is described as having black hair, purply violet eyes, elfin ears, pale skin, and a unique and enchanting “slow” smile.

This charming audio adaptation of Emily of New Moon is set against the backdrop of picturesque Prince Edward Island. A delightful story the whole family will enjoy!

Great introduction to this series. Wonderful story and a great pleasure to listen to this audiobook.

Beautifully read!

Whether it's her time immersed in Montgomery's more famous heroine, Anne of Green Gables, or just a degree of acting talent that goes far beyond other audiobook narrators, Megan Follows has deeply understood Emily's luminosity and sensitivity of spirit and portrays her whole story with an electric, soulful immediacy that is absolutely unmatched.

I do wish she were reading the full book rather than an abridged version. But the cuts worked well for the most part. (I disagree with cutting the proper introduction of Dean Priest - but that's more about the dramatic arc of the whole trilogy. The book as a stand-alone can do without it.)

Abridged or not, I desperately hope plans are in the works for Follows to record the rest of the Emily trilogy. Trying to listen to either of the existing recordings of Emily Climbs and Emily's Quest, after hearing Follows, is like going from walking barefoot among the ethereal light off gossamer dew in the meadow of an Island sunrise, to a sensible-shod, middle-aged afternoon stroll from a church tea somewhere landlocked. You might get some of the feel of the era, but you miss the sometimes otherworldly beauty and grace with which Montgomery wrote.

Far and away the best Emily narration

I wish there were more Anne books that I haven’t read. They are all so good I enjoyed every one. Now books I am listening to our so unsatisfying.

So good

After listening to all 72hrs of the Anne of Green Gables stories, I still couldn't get enough of Lucy's writing. Came across this one and couldn't be happier that I came across it. A heartwarming story that made me laugh and chuckle.

Wonderful story
