This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.

Anne, a young orphan from Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia is sent to Prince Edward Island. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, siblings in their 50s and 60s, had decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm. They live at Green Gables, their farmhouse in Avonlea. Through a misunderstanding, the orphanage sends Anne Shirley.

Anne is described as bright and quick, eager to please, talkative and imaginative. She has a pale face with freckles and usually braids her red hair. When asked her name, Anne tells Marilla to call her Cordelia, which Marilla refuses; Anne then insists that if she is to be called Anne, it must be spelled with an 'e', as that spelling is 'so much more distinguished'.

Marilla at first says the girl must return to the orphanage, but after a few days, she decides to let her stay. Marilla feels that she could be a good influence on the girl and also overheard that another disagreeable woman in town might take Anne instead.
