About this listen

L.M. Montgomery's Rainbow Valley is the continuation of the beloved classics Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea.

Anne and Gilbert Blythe are married and have six mischievous children. Always seeking out new adventures and trying to help others, they're a rambunctious lot.

With a charming narration from Barbara Caruso, Rainbow Valley is a playful and enjoyable listening experience.

Editorial reviews

Those who knew Anne as an impetuous, light-hearted girl will enjoy learning that she's married childhood sweetheart Gilbert and grown into an impetuous, light-hearted mother of six. In this novel, her children carry on the tradition of involving themselves in the lives of others, which their mother began long ago at Green Gables. The resulting stories are full of the same old-fashioned charm as that beloved classic. Barbara Caruso, who excels at dialogue, which is plentiful here, is an excellent choice as narrator - she is comfortable with the novel's old-fashioned phrases, and her evident enjoyment enlivens the story for listeners.

I loved this book so much!

The story reminded me so much of Anne of Green Gables (book 1). Also, Barbara Carusso (the narrator) is fantastic!

Love this book in the, Anne of Green Gables series!

With all of the problems going on in the country, I took a break from Drammatic authors to lighten my spirit. L. M. Montgomery, takes the reader away into a kinder, gentler time.

nice. sweet. engaging.

The "Manse Children" are some of my favorite kids in this whole series, after Anne herself in book one. It's true as some have grumbled that this book deals only peripherally with Anne or her family. But I love these spunky, quirky unsupervised Meredith children that LMM introduces in this book. I find their adventures more interesting even than those of the Blythe children in "...of Ingleside", and I believe I'll listen to this repeatedly in years to come. A real pleasure. And the performance worked well for me. Bravo! I'll be buying Rilla's story soon, to complete the series.

Too little of Anne

This is a lovely story but we hear so little of Anne and her family. If this is about Anne it should center around her and her family.
But still a wonderful book and very well read.

Well done !

The reader is my favorite of the series! Not overdone whether she is speaking as an adult or child. The narrative of the many growing children in all their scrapes and triumphs is at times tugging your heart and/ or bringing a chuckle!
